HBase needs a high nofile limit. What would be the preferred way to set the

Just call ulimit in the initscript?
The java process is started by "daemon" (Debian package "daemon").

Create an exclusive user for your daemon, and drop a file in
/etc/security/limits.d with the following contents:
daemonuser - nofile<somenumber>
This is the wrong answer to the question "how do I set ulimits for a daemon
process?" /etc/security/limits.d is only processed by pam_limits, which has
no reason to be in the path for service startup.
