gearmand issues "Too many open files" in combination with mod-gearman

[p-alik]

There are some issues in gearmand community refer to combination of gearmand and mod-gearman:

• memory leak
• to many fd files

From the behaviour described there it could be an mod-gearman issue. For instance if mod-gearman does not close network connection to gearmand and gearmad has to wait until connection timed out.

Regarding the memory leak we still use gearmand 0.33 in production and never had any issues with that. The open files would be interesting to know if there is a leak, which means the open files would constantly grow, or if there are just many in use. Each worker usually opens 2 connections to gearmand, so you could try to graph the open files next to the number of the worker processes (which are dynamic).

Thanks for reply @sni. I guess our reporters use newer gearmand but unfortunately they didn't reply to my question in this regard. So I close the issue and I'll get in touch if I'll get any new information.
