MySQL server can allocate only as many file handles as the operating system allows. Setting of this variable is very simple. There is only a call to one standard OS C API function. So, this is all entirely upon the operating system. On my OS X, file limit is set to 2560. It can be increased so that your request is satisfied and for the OS X, I recommend the following procedure: http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/tuning/open-files-limit/#Mac-OS-X I must note very strongly that I have not tried this procedure and that it might not be applicable for your version of OS X, but most likely it should work.
