When I was going to test it today, just found it was down. And I have checked log file, the error is : ERROR 19:40:36 JVM state determined to be unstable. Exiting forcefully due to: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/lib/cassandra/data/talkatonegroup/invite_external_members-4b19b590664911e5906a018f9ca3e4f8/la-1-big-CompressionInfo.db (Too many open files) And even when I try to restart, it also shows the same error message.
