Hi Manos, The number of open files allowed for a process can be changed. 1024 is usually a very small number. You should change that to a bigger number to enable zookeeper to run.
Ulimit -a should show you the number of open files allowed. It can be changed using ulimit -n. Also, the default for ulimit is picked up from /etc/security/limits.conf (on linux). In case you want to change that permanently for your machine.
