-----------------------------------

             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
