Solution

Temporary to the current login session
To set ulimit value on a parameter use the below command.
$ ulimit -p 65535

Persistent limits can be set for a particular user – By editing the /etc/security/limits.conf file. To set the maximum number of open files for the elasticsearch user to 65,536, add the following line to the limits.conf file:

vi /etc/security/limits.conf
------
ec2-user  -  nofile  65535
----

#This change will only take effect the next time the ec2-user user opens a new session.
