After upgrading Alfresco from 5.0 to 5.1 and re-indexing with Solr4, Alfresco starts reporting high CPU utilisation (400%) and slow response. The Alfresco Admin Console reports Solr indexing in progress. Checking Admin Console > Support Tools > Hot Threads shows multiple examples of the following stack:

The problem symptoms match community reported ALF-21970.
Steps to Reproduce
- Using Alfresco 5.2.2 upload the attached Tikka-Issue-Full-CPU.PDF to Alfresco Share.
- Use the top command to monitor Alfresco CPU use. It will start to climb above 100%.
- On the Admin Console > Support Tools > Hot Threads capture a thread report every few seconds. The stack trace reported above will be seen.
Actual Behaviour
CPU will start to climb above 100%.
Expected Behaviour
CPU should not be climbed above 100%
Workaround
Installing the alf-21970-repo-1.0.0.jar attached to ALF-21970 resolves this specific problem.
As the attached screenshot named "CPU_usage_comparison.png" shows, CPU usage went down after applying the patch.
To install the fix, stop Alfresco, copy alf-21970.jar to <alfresco_home>/tomcat/endorsed and then restart Alfresco.
