Where should open file limits be set in OL7.x

if node['cassandra']['setup_user_limits']

Just curious if the referenced code is supposed to set these limits to any static files on the system? Or if the settings were intended to only be controlled by the user when the service starts up from /etc/init.d/cassandra?

It would appear that OL7.9 would expect something like /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cassandra.service.
Where as OL6.x might expect /etc/security/limits.d/cassandra_limits.conf

This attribute pre-dates systemd, so it has to be used differently (by recipes and resources) on distributions that use systemd.
