MongoDB: Mongoimport server selection error , connection refused, too many files open Trying to insert several JSON files to MongoDB collections using shell script as following,
#!/bin/bash

NUM=50000
for ((i=o;i&lt;NUM;i++))
do
    mongoimport --host localhost --port 27018 -u 'admin' -p 'password' --authenticationDatabase 'admin' -d random_test -c tri_${i} /home/test/json_files/json_${i}.csv --jsonArray
done  

after several successful adding, these errors were shown on terminal
Failed: connection(localhost:27017[-3]), incomplete read of message header: EOF
error connecting to host: could not connect to server: 
server selection error: server selection timeout, 
current topology: { Type: Single, Servers: 
[{ Addr: localhost:27017, Type: Unknown, 
State: Connected, Average RTT: 0, Last error: connection() : 
dial tcp [::1]:27017: connect: connection refused }, ] }

And below the eoor messages from mongo.log, that said too many open files, can I somehow limit the thread number? or what should I do to fix it?? Thanks a lot!

Depending on your OS, there's multiple ways to modify the maxopenfile of MongoDB.
On Debian and Ubuntu, in /lib/systemd/system/mongod.service there's the LimitNOFILE argument which can be increased if needed.
You have more infos on other OS on https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/ulimit/
