Photoanalysisd / mediaanalysisd / mds / mdworker eating cpu

Was advised by Apple support to upgrade to Mojave yesterday.

Complete nightmare!

After a very lengthy and poorly estimated amount install time, my Macbook Pro was consumed for about 10 hours with mds, mdworker32, mds_stores and other spotlight indexing processes.

Mind you, I don’t use it anyway because it often shows irrelevant info and rarely shows me what I need. Searching within Finder consistently works better.

When all my of this nonsense completed last night I closed the macbook and went to bed.

This AM I woke up to a dead power supply from 12 hours of overdrawing it! Thanks Apple - not!

Replaced it and I’m now about 2 hours into other crazy processes doing stuff I don’t need or want...photoanalysisd, mediaanalysisd, photolibraryd, com.apple.photos.migration, etc...

It has also accumulated a vast amount of cpu doing something with Mail even though the program was not running. I assume it was indexing that too.

Called Apple support again yesterday and this AM and spoke to two clueless reps including the one this AM who said he had never heard of such a thing.

Seriously!?!?

Any others experiencing this?
