I realized that this could be one alternative. But what if the process writing to HDFS is a daemon that's designed to run 24X7? In that scenario,will it eventually, over time, use all the open files?
Or will the DFSClient periodically close resources that it no longer needs?
It immediately closes the resources it does not need. Namely if you don't have any files open, it would not hold any file descriptors.

Thanks again.
