From 2f6dd634c169a34811738a3c230cce4462612748 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vundela Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:12:28 -0700 Subject: [SPARK-11105] [YARN] Distribute log4j.properties to executors Currently log4j.properties file is not uploaded to executor's which is leading them to use the default values. This fix will make sure that file is always uploaded to distributed cache so that executor will use the latest settings. If user specifies log configurations through --files then executors will be picking configs from --files instead of $SPARK_CONF_DIR/log4j.properties Author: vundela Author: Srinivasa Reddy Vundela Closes #9118 from vundela/master. --- docs/running-on-yarn.md | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs') diff --git a/docs/running-on-yarn.md b/docs/running-on-yarn.md index 677c000044..db6bfa69ee 100644 --- a/docs/running-on-yarn.md +++ b/docs/running-on-yarn.md @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ all environment variables used for launching each container.
