RocksDB both maintains large numbers of open file descriptors and relies on
libc stdio for some I/O which can result in sudden failures when over 32,767
files are open.

This issue was reported quite some time ago to the upstream RocksDB team here:
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8184

I have rewritten the portion of RocksDB that relied on stdio I/O to use system
I/O  calls which addresses this issue and have opened a pull request with the
upstream RocksDB team here:
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/14229

I would kindly ask the maintainer of the databases/rocksdb port to ask the
upstream rocksdb team to review and merge the pull request and in the meantime
consider incorporating the aforementioned pull request as a patch in the
rocksdb port.
