Error with too many open files

[nvictus]

Thanks for reporting this! This seems to be caused by resource leakage when pybbi raises exceptions internally. Will work on a fix here: nvictus/pybbi#10

[nvictus]

This is now fixed in pybbi 0.2.2

Thanks for taking care of that! What are the next steps to get higlass-server to use the new version of pybbi?

[nvictus]

If you're using the docker image, it will be distributed in the next release, probably in the next day or so. If you're running higlass-server in a local environment, you just need to upgrade pybbi via pip.

Should be updated in v0.6.39 of the Docker container 👍 Please let us know if you still encounter this issue.

And thanks for reporting it :-)

Hey, thanks for taking care of that! I'm not seeing any open bigwigs in lsof anymore. Also, extra file handles don't appear to be opened when zooming. Marking this as closed.
