How can I suppress INFO logs in an HBase client application?

Question

I\'m writing a Java console application that accesses HBase, and I can\'t figure out how to get rid of all the annoying INFO messages:

13/05/24 11:01:12 INFO

You may get rid of logging the packages one by one, e.g:

Logger.getLogger("org.apache.zookeeper").setLevel(Level.WARN);
Logger.getLogger("org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper").setLevel(Level.WARN);
Logger.getLogger("org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client").setLevel(Level.WARN);

Or just simply manipulate the rootlogger:

Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(Level.WARN);

Note: tested on HBase 0.94.5
