Hi, Just doing some tests on Spark 2 version spark-shell
using spark-shell, in my $SPARK_HOME/conf/log4j.properties, I have: log4j.rootCategory=ERROR, console I get spark-shell Setting default log level to "WARN". To adjust logging level use sc.setLogLevel(newLevel). I don't have this issue with spark 1.6.1 Thanks Dr Mich Talebzadeh LinkedIn * https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw <https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw>* http://talebzadehmich.wordpress.com *Disclaimer:* Use it at your own risk.
