Hi All, I am new to this group. In one of our project we are using ElasticSearch server. In normal circumstance we are not facing this issue, but in production, we are facing SocketException:Too many open files from Elastic Search, Work around found after surfing over the internet was to increase the file count, even then we face this issue. We are basically using JestClient as a client to connect to ElasticSearch Server. We have a web service which basically create client object and execute the Elastic Search Query. It would of great help, if any one can help on this issue, basically I am trying to understand actual root cause and solution. Thanks in advance. shashi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
