Description

I have a 6 nodes cluster in prod in 3 racks.
each node :

• 4Gb commitlogs on 343 files
• 275Gb data on 504 files

On saturday, 1 node in each rack crash with with too many open files (seems to be the similar node in each rack).

lsof -n -p $PID give me 66899 out of 65826 max

it contains 64527 open directories (2371 uniq)

a part of the list :
