I think it is, looking at /proc/sys/fs/file-max I get
[root@170226-db7 64]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
1573080

We do have vm.overcommit_memory set to 2 on this system.
I should add that now many queries and just transaction initiations are
failing on this system since yesterday. Now I just saw one of our
applications attempt to initiate a transaction (this is a Java app, so
through JDBC here) and it resulted in an out-of-memory error. This is all
I see in the logs:

Does this provide any useful information? I have other queries that are
failing as well, and I can provide explain output for those if it might
help.
