Request Too Large:File Handles Exceeded

Hi,
I have the following error:
java.sql.SQLTransientException: [Vertica]VJDBC ERROR: Insufficient resources to execute plan on pool my_pool [Request Too Large:File Handles Exceeded: Requested = 28490, Free = 27496 (Limit = 27496, Used = 0)]
at com.vertica.util.ServerErrorData.buildException(Unknown Source)
I obtain this error when I execute
select max(col_1), max(col_2) ....., max(col_1287) from
decreasing the number of columns , the value of 'Requested (File Handles)' decreases, also
What should be done in order to increase the 'Limit = 27496' ?
ulimit -n
65536
/etc/security/limits.conf
- as unlimited
- hard nofile 65536
- soft nofile 65536
dbadmin - nice 0
dbadmin - nofile 65536
Thank you,
Veronica

Here is an interesting description
https://forum.vertica.com/discussion/234883/file-handle-count-calculation
for dbadmin run the following command. It will show how many file descriptors are available
They can be increased in /etc/security/limits.conf as you have shown above.
note, the increase requires either a reboot or a relogin by the dbadmin user.
ulimit -a will tell you how many FDs are available
Yes, it worked.

The open file limit should be at least 1 file open per MB of RAM, 65536, or the amount of RAM in MB.
hard nofile 65536 -> 122000
soft nofile 65536 -> 122000
dbadmin - nofile 65536 -> 122000
My conclusion is: there is a connection between number of ROS containers, number of columns and the amount of RAM. More columns I need to select, more RAM I need.
Also, I used
lsof | wc -l <- to see the number of open files
lsof | grep "vertica" | wc -l <- files open by vertica
