解决Spark应用日志级别设置

最近在研究Spark的相关知识，本地搭建了一个开发环境Windows7+Eclipse+JDK1.7。

一. 日志效率原因

开发时，控制台输出一大堆日志信息，严重影响查看日志效率。

从控制台输出日志我们可以看出，应用程序是默认加载Spark-core包下面的log4j-defaults.properties日志文件。查看log4j-defaults.properties文件

由上图可知，Spark-core包设置默认的日志级别为info，所以我们才看到一大堆日志信i息。

那针对以上问题，在开发过程中我们如何解决？

二. 日志级别解决方法

方式一.局部应用设置

针对SparkContext应用，Spark有专门的api设置日志级别，如下：

上述方法，只针对SparkContext相关的应用，而对Spark-streaming等应用无效果。

方式二.全局应用设置

针对spark所有应用，可以Java工程目录中新建/src/main/resources目录，把log4j.properties放置该目录。

log4j.properties生成：

1. Spark中conf默认配置文件是log4j.properties.template，可以将其改名为log4j.properties;

2. 将Spark-core包中的log4j-default.properties内容复制到log4j.properties文件。

#log4j内容如下

# Set everything to be logged to the console

log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss} %p %c{1}: %m%n

# Settings to quiet third party logs that are too verbose

log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.repl.SparkIMain$exprTyper=INFO
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.repl.SparkILoop$SparkILoopInterpreter=INFO
log4j.logger.org.apache.parquet=ERROR

# SPARK-9183: Settings to avoid annoying messages when looking up nonexistent UDFs in SparkSQL with Hive support
log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.RetryingHMSHandler=FATAL
log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FunctionRegistry=ERROR

在开发工程中，我们可以设置日志级别为WARN，即：

log4j.rootCategory=WARN, console
