问题描述，elasticsearch启动时报max file descriptors错误：

网上的解决办法都是修改/etc/security/limits.conf文件，增加hadoop hard nofile 131072一行

vi /etc/security/limits.conf
hadoop soft nofile 65536
hadoop hard nofile 131072
hadoop soft nproc 2048
hadoop hard nproc 4096

可是，我的配置本来就已经设置成这样了的
网上找来找去，都是修改limits.conf文件这个答案，最怕这种了，所有的人都指向同一个答案，却不能解决自己的问题
后来突然想到是不是环境变量的问题，仔细检查了一遍，发现一个可疑的设置

vi /etc/profile
ulimit -n 65535 

使用 ulimit -Hn 查看当前值，果然是65535，

ulimit -Hn
65535

也就是说每次更新环境变量的时候limits.conf的hard nofile 131072设置被覆盖掉了
这就好办了，vi /etc/profile 将 ulimit -n 65535 行注释掉，退出重新进入当前用户，再使用 ulimit -Hn 查看当前值，已经是131072了，设置成功！

vi /etc/profile
# ulimit -n 65535 

ulimit -Hn
131072

再去启动elasticsearch，OK！
