Some of our launch scripts (start-daemon.sh in 1.x and the equivalent
accumulo-service in 2.x) do check the output of `ulimit -n` to see if
it is at least 32768. These scripts are optional, though.

Everybody's situation is unique, so we probably can't offer specific
advice for your environment, but this seems like a generally good idea
to me if you're running on a typical Linux system, as an active
Accumulo cluster on Hadoop will likely use a lot of open file handles.
I don't see that behavior changing anytime soon.
