Hey Marc:
You are still seeing 'too many open files'? Whats your schema look
like. I added to http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/FAQ#5 a rough
formula for counting how many open mapfiles in a running regionserver.
Currently, your only recourse is upping the ulimit. Addressing this
scaling barrier will be a focus of next hbase release.

I have seen that hbase can cause "too many open file" errors. I increase
my limit to 10240 (10 times the previous limit) but still get errors.
Is there a recommended value that I should set my open files limit to?
Is there something else I can do to reduce the number of files, perhaps
with some other trade-off?
Thanks
