A common problem with any server running lucene becasue it needs to open lots of file handles - often more than the linux default of 1024.
Here's the fix for a linux system... Edit the file: /etc/security/limits.conf Add to the bottom: * soft nofile 16384 * hard nofile 16384 Restart any console windows you have open and when you run ulimit -a you should get something like: core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 16384 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 7168 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited Restarting Solr... your "too many file handles" crash should be reoslved.
