Done, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1188 It was find_all_by_service_id that was the culprit, and it resolves down to a multiget_slice on a super column family. The super CF is acting as an index back into a regular CF, thus I'm providing key, supercolumn name, and getting back a set of columns which have date uuid names and values as keys back into the regular CF. The leaked file descriptors seem to be for the Super CF data file.
