Resolution:

• Add following in /etc/security/limits.conf to set the 100000 as the maximum number of processs in your system for user hadoop. 
  hadoop soft nproc 100000
  hadoop hard nproc 100000

• Configure hbase-env.sh(Optional: based on your use case):
  export HBASE_HEAPSIZE=8000(original is 20G)
  export HBASE_REGIONSERVER_OPTS="$HBASE_REGIONSERVER_OPTS -Xmx8g -Xms8g -Xmn4g -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=70 -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -Xloggc:$HBASE_LOG_DIR/gc--hbase.log"
  
• Restart hbase and thrift(Without this, ulimit settings will not take effort)
  stop-hbase.sh
  start-hbase.sh
  hbase-daemon.sh stop thrift
  hbase-daemon.sh start thrift
