Hi guys, when I run the TOP command, java appears to be using 100% of the CPU. This occurs just after I start Alf, and while the Startup of 'thirdparty' subsystem is hanging. Even after I stop Alf, java sticks around to use 98-100% of the CPU.

Ok so I solved this after 6 hours of beating my head against the desk 😜

After shutting down Alfresco I deleted the folders "lucene-indexes" & "backup-lucene-indexes" from /Alfresco/alf_data (made a tarball of the folders before deleting).

I then set "index.recovery.mode=FULL" in repository.properties & started up Alfresco.

It took 20 minutes to reindex, but Alf was back up and running, with the indexes rebuilt.

In short, you just have to wait it out when Alf gets to that line, it is loading the indexes, which takes time.
