Comment:
The issue is what it says - there are too many open files. We need some
free file descriptors to open the index, but there are a finite number
available - e.g. on modern Linux the limit is 65536. So it sounds like
recoll isn't closing files in some case, as it's unlikely it really needs
so many files open at once.
This is a recoll issue, not a Xapian one. There's nothing we can really
do if there aren't file handles available, short of randomly closing some
which wouldn't be helpful overall. You should report this to the recoll
author (Jean Francois Dockes).
Closing as notabug (in Xapian).
