Unless you are a spark developer, including at Yahoo, the person building
the assembly jar is not the same as the person using spark : so depending on
assembled jar containing the logging config is not a practical solution.
Which is why, atleast in yarn case, I had added the ability to specify the
log4j config from cli : and I know this is working till 0.9 (I am yet to move
to trunk).
