Filebeat Version: 8.3.2 (image gets from [docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:8.3.2](http://docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:8.3.2))
I have roughly 40k logs in an NFS folder for Filebeat to collect. The Pod keeps restart itself in every ~10 minutes. And showing this error:
```auto
panic: reflect.Select: too many cases (max 65536)
goroutine 258 [running]:
reflect.Select({0xc0e5f7a000?, 0x10001?, 0x14124?})

```
I believe i have enough Memory, hundreds of GB. ulimit shows:
```auto
# ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 3095242

```
Here is my filebeat.yaml inputs:
```auto
- type: filestream
# Change to true to enable this input configuration.
enabled: true
# Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.
paths:
- /mnt/*
encoding: utf-8
close_inactive: 1m
tail_files: true
file_identity.path: ~
```
Any hint? Thanks
FYI, this is similar to this case

Hi,
There is an issue about reading from several thousands of files, it was closed, I have reopened it: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/16076](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/16076)
In the comments there is a trace that looks like yours.

Thanks @jsoriano. Yea, the log is similar.
One more clue, the same configuration worked fine when I was running Filebeat in a physical machine (RHEL 7.8). I am now suspending it is due to any misconfigure or limit in my Kuberneates setup.
