    [SPARK-11929][CORE] Make the repl log4j configuration override the root logger. · e6dd2374
    Marcelo Vanzin authored
    In the default Spark distribution, there are currently two separate
    log4j config files, with different default values for the root logger,
    so that when running the shell you have a different default log level.
    This makes the shell more usable, since the logs don't overwhelm the
    output.
    
    But if you install a custom log4j.properties, you lose that, because
    then it's going to be used no matter whether you're running a regular
    app or the shell.
    
    With this change, the overriding of the log level is done differently;
    the log level repl's main class (org.apache.spark.repl.Main) is used
    to define the root logger's level when running the shell, defaulting
    to WARN if it's not set explicitly.
    
    On a somewhat related change, the shell output about the "sc" variable
    was changed a bit to contain a little more useful information about
    the application, since when the root logger's log level is WARN, that
    information is never shown to the user.

    Closes #9816 from vanzin/shell-logging.
