             Summary: Server fails to start up when RLIMIT_NPROC is -1
                 Key: KUDU-2377
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2377
             Project: Kudu
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: server
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: Adar Dembo
            Assignee: Adar Dembo
             Fix For: 1.7.1


Unlike RLIMIT_NOFILE, it would appear that RLIMIT_NPROC can be set to the special value RLIM_INFINITY. This special value is represented as the integer value -1, which means it's not safe for callers of Env::GetResourceLimit to simply treat the returned value as a non-zero integer.

Currently GetThreadPoolThreadLimit (kserver.cc) has a perfect example of such misbehavior; If I open a root shell, run `ulimit -o unlimited`, then try to start a server, I get the following check failure:
