What has worked for me is to bundle log4j.properties in the root of the application's .jar file, since log4j will look for it there, and configuring log4j will turn off Spark's default log4j configuration.
I don't think conf/log4j.properties is going to do anything by itself, but -Dlog4j.configuration=/path/to/file should cause it read a config file on the file system. But for messing with a local build of Spark, just edit core/src/main/resources/org/apache/spark/log4j-defaults.properties and rebuild. Yes I think your syntax is OK; here's some of mine where I turn off a bunch of INFO messages: log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} %-5p %c{1}:%L %m%n log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop=WARN log4j.logger.org.apache.kafka=WARN log4j.logger.kafka=WARN log4j.logger.akka=WARN log4j.logger.org.apache.spark=WARN log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.storage.BlockManager=ERROR log4j.logger.org.apache.zookeeper=WARN log4j.logger.org.eclipse.jetty=WARN log4j.logger.org.I0Itec.zkclient=WARN On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 7:42 PM, Debasish Das <debasish.da...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have added some changes to ALS tests and I am re-running tests as: > > mvn -Dhadoop.version=2.3.0-cdh5.1.0 -Phadoop-2.3 -Pyarn > -DwildcardSuites=org.apache.spark.mllib.recommendation.ALSSuite test > > I have some INFO logs in the code which I want to see on my console.
