626 - Long names cause search confusion

This is manifested as recipe failures to locate cluster members, and caused by too much data in index inside chef. Two options:

1. use short domain names - the simple case

2. increase the index field size (see below)

To increase max field size (all on the admin node):

• edit

  • on ubuntu: /var/lib/chef/solr/conf/solrconfig.xml
  • on redhat: /var/chef/solr/conf/solrconfig.xml

• find the field maxFieldLength and change the value to 200000

• repeat for both occurrence

• restart chef-solr. On mesa 1.2 issue: bluepill chef-server restart chef-solr

• rebuild the index by issuing the following: knife index rebuild
