No. Lucene sometimes just requires many file descriptors (this
will be somewhat alleviated with Solr 1.2). I suggest upping the
open file limit (I upped mine from 1024 to 45000 to handle huge
indices). You can alleviate this by reducing the mergeFactor, but
this can impact indexing performance.
Another thing to do which will definitely keep file handles down is
to set to the compound index format. That setting is in solrconfig.xml
