I just learned about a NIO bug[1] in the latest JDK 7u40 release

could impact RHQ. The storage node makes extensive use of java.nio as does
the client library used by the RHQ server. Just something of which to be
aware if you are running on Java 7 u40.
The file descriptor count would have to be over 64k, which I suppose could
happen, though for that most people would need a much higher ulimit. All
64k would have to be in use, not just created as POSIX says you have to
reuse closed file descriptors.
By the way, it looks like RHQ uses about one socket per connection, and
about 1000 file descriptors (jar files etc.) out of the box.
