[chef] Re: Re: solr issue trying to start chef 0.10 rc server

More info:
- the expander claims to be doing something when knife index rebuild
is run so maybe solr just isn't picking it up? I can't imagine that
the queue takes that long given my dataset is like 2 items? From
expander.log:

Interestingly though, notice that above there is nothing indexed
related to environments. Likewise the output doesn't mention them:


 
 ~]$ knife index rebuild -y
Chef::ApiClient:  success
Chef::DataBag:    success
Chef::Node:       success
Chef::Role:       success

I wonder if the index rebuild function works at all and further if it
has been updated to take environments into account?
