Check the "nofile" setting in /etc/security/limits.conf for the maximum
limit of number of file descriptors. You can change it with superuser
privileges. I do not recommend a file descriptor hard limit higher than
in /proc/sys/fs/file-max
Yes, you should add nodes if you want to manage a high number of
active/open shards.
