If you want to be able to continue when a node goes down, you need at least one replica for each shard. Then if a node goes down, the replica will continue serving requests for that shard.
If you have no replicas and a node goes down, requests would return only partial results! We will support this in the future, with a warning in the returned header that the full results were not available, but currently we do not.
