近期对hbase多用户插入数据时，regionserver会莫名奇妙的关闭，regionserver的日志有很多异常：
如下：
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.DroppedSnapshotException: region: t,12130111020202,1369296305769.f14b9a1d05ae485981f6a8579f1324fb.

在网上查了很久也没有解决办法，把日志从头看了一遍，发现一句话：
2013-05-23 00:48:16,939 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient: Failed to
connect to /192.168.3.6:50010, add to deadNodes and
continuejava.net.SocketException: Too many open files
原来linux对打开文件数有限制，而datanode无法打开文件，所以就回报异常，regionserver也关闭了。解决方法如下：
HBase是数据库，会在同一时间使用很多的文件句柄。大多数linux系统使用的默认值1024是不能满足的，会导致FAQ: Why do I see "java.io.IOException...(Too many open files)" in my logs?异常。还可能会发生这样的异常
2010-04-06 03:04:37,542 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient: Exception increateBlockOutputStream java.io.EOFException
2010-04-06 03:04:37,542 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient: Abandoning block blk_-6935524980745310745_1391901
所以你需要修改你的最大文件句柄限制。可以设置到10k. 你还需要修改 hbase 用户的 nproc，如果过低会造成 OutOfMemoryError异常。 [2] [3].
需要澄清的，这两个设置是针对操作系统的，不是Hbase本身的。有一个常见的错误是Hbase运行的用户，和设置最大值的用户不是一个用户。在Hbase启动的时候，第一行日志会现在ulimit信息，所以你最好检查一下。 [4]
如果你使用的是Ubuntu,你可以这样设置:
在文件 /etc/security/limits.conf 添加一行，如:
hadoop - nofile 32768
可以把 hadoop 替换成你运行Hbase和Hadoop的用户。如果你用两个用户，你就需要配两个。还有配nproc hard 和 soft limits. 如:
hadoop soft/hard nproc 32000
.
在 /etc/pam.d/common-session 加上这一行:
session required pam_limits.so
否则在 /etc/security/limits.conf上的配置不会生效.
还有注销再登录，这些配置才能生效!
一个 Hadoop HDFS Datanode 有一个同时处理文件的上限. 这个参数叫 xcievers (Hadoop的作者把这个单词拼错了). 在你加载之前，先确认下你有没有配置这个文件conf/hdfs-site.xml里面的xceivers参数，至少要有4096:
<property>
<name>dfs.datanode.max.xcievers</name>
<value>4096</value>
</property>
对于HDFS修改配置要记得重启.
如果没有这一项配置，你可能会遇到奇怪的失败。你会在Datanode的日志中看到xcievers exceeded，但是运行起来会报 missing blocks错误。例如: 10/12/08 20:10:31 INFO hdfs.DFSClient: Could not obtain block blk_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_YYYYYYYY from any node: java.io.IOException: No live nodes contain current block. Will get new block locations from namenode and retry... [5]
