The problem here is that this will try to open 300 RocksDB instances on each of the TMs (depending on how the parallelism is spread between the machines this could be more or less). As the exception says, this will open too many files because each RocksDB instance has a directory with several files in it.
One possible solution would be to increase the limit on open files but I don’t think that opening 300 RocksDB instances on one machine is a good idea for any size of machine. I think with this many patterns you could start thinking about writing the pattern matching yourself and multiplexing the several patterns in one stateful function or operator. @Stefan, what do you think about having this many Rocks instances?
