Answer 1

Edit your conf/log4j.properties file and change the following line:

log4j.rootCategory=INFO, console

to

log4j.rootCategory=ERROR, console

Another approach would be to :

Start spark-shell and type in the following:

import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level

Logger.getLogger("org").setLevel(Level.OFF)
Logger.getLogger("akka").setLevel(Level.OFF)

You won't see any logs after that.

Other options for Level include: all, debug, error, fatal, info, off, trace, trace_int, warn

Details about each can be found in the documentation.
