Xiaoping Li commented on CASSANDRA-11029: ----------------------------------------- [~pauloricardomg]Thanks. I see the problem is because of open file limit. The reason is because I run as root, not as cassandra(since I define higher open files for cassandra). Thanks for the input > cassandra failed to start up due to Too many open files > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-11029 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11029 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Lifecycle > Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS > java version "1.8.0_60" > cassandra 2.2.1 apache version > Reporter: Xiaoping Li > Priority: Critical > Attachments: cassandra.log.rtf > > > I have a cassandra node running in AWS for test purpose. > When I was going to test it today, just found it was down.
