Joshua McKenzie created CASSANDRA-7579: ------------------------------------------
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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
