This is originating from the host OS, which is probably Linux of some kind. You'll need to do what it says: increase the inotify limit or the amount of open files.
From my experience, the open file limit is usually astronomically high, so it's probably the inotify thing.

How can I fix below problem? I am using compass.

Check your open file limit, and check your inotify limit. If the open file limit is like 9 billion, it's the inotify thing. Double it.
This also assumes you have access to the host OS. If you're using a managed host, open a support ticket with them.
Thank you!
