[Building Sakai] Search eating up all available file handles

[Matthew Buckett]

I'm going to go digging a little more but I thought I see if anyone
has see this before. Basically we're seeing an issue where one of our
Sakai workers will run out of open filehandles, when this happens the
node becomes as good as useless. Looking at the output of lsof we can
see that Sakai is hold 1000 filehandle open on the index.

$ awk '{print $9;}' < files.txt  | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
 101 /dev/urandom
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.fdt
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.fdx
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.frq
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.nrm
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.prx
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.tis
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.tvd
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.tvf
1000 /var/lib/sakai/worker/search_index/index/_bj.tvx

Has anyone else seen this before?
