Under 0.7.0 beta1 am seeing cassandra run out of files handles...
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /local1/junkbox/cassandra/data/junkbox.wetafx.co.nz/ObjectIndex-e-31-Index.db (Too many open files)
at java.ioRandomAccessFile.open(Native Method)
at java.io.RandomAccessFile.<init>(RandomAccessFile.java:212)
at java.io.RandomAccessFile.<init>(RandomAccessFile.java:98)
at org.apache.cassandra.io.util.BufferedRandomAccessFile.<init>(BufferedRandomAccessFile.java:142)
If I look at the file descriptors for the process I can see it already has 1,958 for to the file
sudo ls -l /proc/20862/fd | grep "ObjectIndex-e-31-Data.db" | wc -l
1958
Out of a total of 2044.
Other nodes in the cluster have a similar number of fd's - around 2k with the majority to one SSTable.
I did not experience this under 0.6 so just checking if this sounds OK and I should just increase the number of handles or if it's a bug?
Thanks
Aaron
