First, see this line:

Open file limit (ulimit -H -n) too low (4086), need at least 7798

It seems you set your open file limit too low, change it to higher than 7798, then restart.

Edited

You can change it by steps:

Edit sysctl.conf file:

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

Add this line:

fs.file-max = 9999

Then run command to load config:

sysctl -p

Check:

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
