Hey guys

I'm running hbase on Ubuntu, and I'm experiencing problems with "too many open 
files". I've got the following in limits.conf:

*                -    nofile          50000
*                -    nproc           50000
I think that the correct configuration is for hdfs, mapred and hbase users:

# user type        resource     value

hdfs -                  nofile          32768
mapred -            nofile          32768
hbase -               nofile          32768




And added "session required pam_limits.so" to /etc/pam.d/common-session . Hbase 
master is getting the correct limit of 50k, but the regionserver (which is dying) and 
zookeeper are getting the default 1024 limit.

Is there anything in the pipeline where the RS/ZK set the limit? I can't find 
anything written in this or in the config.

Appreciate any help.
