My issue was indeed CHEF-2346. I had upped maxFieldLength in
/etc/solr/conf/solrconfig.xml...however it appears the Chef SOLR
config is in /var/lib/chef/solr/conf/solrconfig.xml.

I've updated CHEF-2346 so that stands out to anyone who installed from
Ubuntu packages.

Thank you very much for your help!
