Hi Steve,
I wrote a blog post on the configuration of Spark that we've used,
including the log4j.properties:
http://progexc.blogspot.co.il/2014/12/spark-configuration-mess-solved.html
(What we did was to distribute the relevant *log4j.properties* file to all
of the slaves to the same location)
Ok I am stymied. I have tried everything I can think of to get spark to use
my own version of
log4j.properties
In the launcher code - I launch a local instance from a Java application
I say -Dlog4j.configuration=conf/log4j.properties
where conf/log4j.properties is user.dir - no luck
Spark
