Too many open files error java mac

-XX:- MaxFDLimit

Directs the VM to refrain from setting the file descriptor limit to the default maximum. The default behavior is to set the limit to the value specified by OPEN_MAX, which is10240. Normally, this is the maximum number of files that a process may have open. It is possible, however, to increase this limit to a user-specified value with the sysctlutility. Under such circumstances, you may want to pass -XX:-MaxFDLimit to stop the Java VM from restricting the number of open files to 10240.
