Create a folder named “log4j” in the root folder of your project (the one where build.sbt stays) and then create a file named “log4j.properties” with the following content:
# Set everything to be logged to the console
log4j.rootCategory=WARN, console
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.target=System.err
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss} %p %c{1}: %m%n
# Set the default spark-shell log level to WARN. When running the spark-shell, the
# log level for this class is used to overwrite the root logger's log level, so that
# the user can have different defaults for the shell and regular Spark apps.
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.repl.Main=WARN
# Settings to quiet third party logs that are too verbose
log4j.logger.org.spark-project.jetty=WARN
log4j.logger.org.spark-project.jetty.util.component.AbstractLifeCycle=ERROR
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.repl.SparkIMain$exprTyper=INFO
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.repl.SparkILoop$SparkILoopInterpreter=INFO
log4j.logger.org.apache.parquet=ERROR
log4j.logger.parquet=ERROR
# SPARK-9183: Settings to avoid annoying messages when looking up nonexistent UDFs in SparkSQL with Hive support
Clearly you can modify all the logging
Let's talk!
I'm Carlo Nicolini — I am interested on the reliability of AI reasoning systems (interpretability, inference-time methods, probabilistic language programming) and on quantitative portfolio optimization (I am a maintainer of skfolio). If you're working on something in these areas and think we might collaborate, chat, discuss, I'm happy to talk about it!
The best way to reach me is on via DM on LinkedIn.
