> In some systems the hard limit for number of open files is set reasonably high, but the default soft limit for the user running Kafka is insufficient.
> It would be nice if the Kafka startup script could set the soft limit of number of files for the Kafka process to a user-defined value before starting Kafka. 
> Something like:
> kafka-server-start --soft-file-limit 10000 config/server.properties
