Change Sparkling Shell Logging Level ------------------------------------ The console output for Sparkling Water Shell by default shows verbose Spark output as well as H2O logs. If you would like to switch the output to only warnings from Spark, you need to change it in the log4j properties file in the Spark's configuration directory. To do this: .. code:: shell cd $SPARK_HOME/conf cp log4j.properties.template log4j.properties Then either in a text editor or vim, change the contents of the log4j.properties file from: .. code:: shell #Set everything to be logged to the console log4j.rootCategory=INFO, console ... to: .. code:: shell #Set everything to be logged to the console log4j.rootCategory=WARN, console ...
