Description

MongoDB has documentation regarding too many open files (ulimit) issues. Setting up mongod as a service is a straightforward way to configure an unlimited limit to avoid this issue, per the documentation. You can then configure your own FiftyOne database connection.

But, without a mongod service, if you set the soft and hard open file limit for your user (on linux machines), you should not face this issue. See here.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check your system's open file limits using 'ulimit n' and configure MongoDB service or user limits to increase the soft and hard limits.
