From the latest load tests where requests were sent through web server (httpd) and routed to wildfly10.

List of open files grows steadily during load test through mod_cluster ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MODCLUSTER-536 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-536 Project: mod_cluster Issue Type: Bug Components: Core & Container Integration (Java) Affects Versions: 1.3.1.Final Environment: Wildfly10.0.0.Final mod_cluster-1.3.1.Final-linux2-x64-ssl CentOS7 (virtualbox) Reporter: Wayne Wang Assignee: Michal Karm Babacek Attachments: error_log, httpd-mpm.conf, httpd.conf, server.log, standalone-full-ha-snippet.xml I was able to configure wildfly 10 modcluster to work with Apache mod_cluster (1.3.1). However, when I was doing a load test, I found out that the test through web server eventually caused error in wildfly instance and I also saw error log in Apache web server The obvious error in wildfly instance is the so-called "java.net.SocketException: Too many files open". When I used the command lsop -u | grep TCP | wc -l, I can see the number grew steadily until the wildfly instance reported the error. This was when I sent requests through web server. However, when I sent the requests through wildfly instance (app server) directly, the number did not grow, and the app server can take a lot heavier load without this issue. The issue did not happen until many rounds of load tests were executed through web server. If I restart the web server, everything is working fine until I execute many rounds of load tests again
