Gwen Shapira created KAFKA-2462: ----------------------------------- Summary: allow modifying soft limit for open files in Kafka startup script Key: KAFKA-2462 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2462 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Gwen Shapira Assignee: Gwen Shapira
In some systems the hard limit for number of open files is set reasonably high, but the default soft limit for the user running Kafka is insufficient. It would be nice if the Kafka startup script could set the soft limit of number of files for the Kafka process to a user-defined value before starting Kafka. Something like: kafka-server-start --soft-file-limit 10000 config/server.properties -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
