Hi,

I know the error message is understandable, but I'd like to understand why
and how to fix it. This is ES 0.16.0-SNAPSHOT (from master):

Hi,

raise the no_files of the user running elasticsearch, this is done
typically adding to /etc/security/limits.conf the lines:

elasticsearch soft nofile 64000
elasticsearch hard nofile 64000

test that it gets applied running:

sudo -u elasticsearch -s "ulimit -Hn"

If it doesn't get applied run:

egrep -r pam_limits /etc/pam.d/

and check that all pam_limits.so are not commented out.

if sudo -u elasticsearch -s "ulimit -Hn" returns 64000, but you still
get the error on elasticsearch, you're probably running it through
another program that doesn't support pam, a usual offender is
supervisord. The only solution I know to this problem is to raise the
nofile limit for the user running supervisord, but this will obviously
raise the limit for all the processes running under supervisord, a non
ideal situation.

Hope it helps,

Cheers,

Thanks a lot for your detailed response.

Actually I'm using root for it, so I've set:

ulimit -n 64000

And then running "ulimit -Hn" returns:

[root@s1 ~]# ulimit -n 64000
[root@s1 ~]# ulimit -Hn
64000

Which I guess should be enough, right?

Joaquin_Cuenca_Abela · April 5, 2011, 9:20am

Nitpicking, to test your current limit try ulimit -Sn. -Hn gives you
the hard limit, the limit that only root can change, -Sn gives you the
current limit. The -Sn limit is what will be applied to the processes
that you will start after the last change to the limits.

So assuming ulimit -Sn gives you 64000, you still have to restart
elasticsearch to get the new limit. Also, if you restart your box you
will lose the 64000 limit, if you want to keep it after restarts you
have to put it in /etc/security/limits.conf.

Cheers,

Hi Joaquin

raise the no_files of the user running elasticsearch, this is done
typically adding to /etc/security/limits.conf the lines:

Great explanation. Would you be prepared to change it into a tutorial?

If so, you can fork the github repo for elasticsearch.org here:
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.github.com

and once done, send a pull request.

many thanks
