Hi, I am trying to change the log4j configuration for jobs submitted to a k8s cluster (using submit)
The my-log4j.xml is uploaded using --files ,./my-log4j.xml and the file in the working directory of the driver/exec pods. I added D-flags using the extra java options (and tried many different URIs, absolute, with and without file:. --conf spark.driver.extraJavaOptions="-Dlog4j2.debug=false -Dlog4j2.configurationFile=file:./my-log4j.xml" \ --conf spark.executor.extraJavaOptions="-Dlog4j2.debug=false -Dlog4j2.configurationFile=file:./my-log4j.xml" \ When debugging i notice that log4j is not able to load my configuration file. I see the following additional log entries: ERROR StatusLogger Reconfiguration failed: No configuration found for '4a87761d' at 'null' in 'null' ERROR StatusLogger Reconfiguration failed: No configuration found for 'Default' at 'null' in 'null' 24/06/06 09:20:44 WARN NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable Files file:///tmp/mk2/spark-upload-36b1f43d-1878-4b06-be5e-e25b703f28d5/orbit-movements.csv from /tmp/mk2/spark-upload-36b1f43d-1878-4b06-be5e-e25b703f28d5/orbit-movements.csv to /opt/spark/work-dir/orbit-movements.csv Files file:///tmp/mk2/spark-upload-cc211704-f481-4ebe-b6f0-5dbe66a7c639/my-log4j.xml from /tmp/mk2/spark-upload-cc211704-f481-4ebe-b6f0-5dbe66a7c639/my-log4j.xml to /opt/spark/work-dir/my-log4j.xml Files file:///tmp/mk2/spark-upload-7970b482-7669-49aa-9f88-65191a83a18a/out.jar from /tmp/mk2/spark-upload-7970b482-7669-49aa-9f88-65191a83a18a/out.jar to /opt/spark/work-dir/out.jar The lines starting with Files in the logs of the Driver process, makes me wonder if the copying of files from my shared mount to the working directory happens in that process and is not something that happens before the java process launches. Is that assumption correct, as it would explain why my log4j config files are not found at JVM launch. If so, what is the recommended way to change the logging config *per job* when running spark in k8s (i am not using a custom container image, so can’t place it in there) tx.,
