RunJar fails executing thousands JARs within single JVM with error "Too many 
open files"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6820
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6820
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: util
    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
         Environment: OS:Linux, Linux-user limited by maximum number of open 
file descriptors (for example: ulimit -n shows 1024)
            Reporter: Alexander Bondar
            Priority: Minor


According to Sun JVM (up to 7) bug 
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4167874 - The JarFile 
objects created by sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarFileFactory never get garbage 
collected, even if the classloader that loaded them goes away.

So, if linux-user has limitation on maximum number of open file descriptors 
(for example: ulimit -n shows 1024) and performs RunJar.main(...) over 
thousands of JARs that include other nested JARs (also loaded by ClassLoader) 
within single JVM, RunJar.main(...) throws following exception: 
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /some-file.txt (Too 
many open files)
