------------------------------------------
Summary: File descriptor exhaustion can lead to unreliable state
in exception condition
Key: CASSANDRA-7579
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7579
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Joshua McKenzie
Priority: Minor
If the JVM runs out of file descriptors we can get into an unreliable state
(similar to CASSANDRA-7507 on OOM) where we cannot trust our shutdown hook to
run successfully to completion. We need to check IOExceptions and appropriate
Throwable to see if we have a FileNotFoundException w/message "Too many files
open" and forcefully shutdown the Daemon in these cases.
