Upgrade 4.2a to 4.2e indexing stall

[cszamudio]

Hi,
I've been attempting to upgrade from Community 4.2a to 4.2e.  I seem to be getting stuck during the initial indexing phase.  I did a clean install of 4.2e and am testing the configuration (i.e., the backed up data has not yet been restored).  I keep finding the server stalled in the middle of this step (from the alfresco.log file):

—————————————

After waiting for about 30 minutes, I get the following error:

In the alfresco-global.properties I have the index.recovery.mode=AUTO.

The lucene-indexes directory is created and appears to have the right structure.

I've tried uninstalling/installing a few times, but it's always stuck at the 30% complete.

In my configuration I am using the standard Lucene indexing, not SOLR (yet).

I've successfully performed a number of upgrades in the past, so I am familiar with the process. This time I'm stuck.

Thanks for any suggestions.
