Too many open files and other problems

Hi Ulli,

The number of open files needs to be set on each node - it's not a cluster
wide setting. I would update the settings on the other nodes and this use
this command to verify that it has been updated successfully.

Just on the other nodes, are these all embedded instances of ES on the same
server? (it looks like there are 4 of them).

Hello Radu,

I looked at my problem again and discovered that the file limit is
obviously applied for the master node only. Is this a correct behavior or
what might be going wrong?
