You can also package an alternative log4j config in your jar files

Re: Specify log4j properties file

You can also use --files, which doesn't require the file scheme.

RE: Specify log4j properties file

Found it. 
You can pass in the jvm parameter log4j.configuration. The following works:
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:path/to/log4j.properties
It doesn't work without the file: prefix though. Tested in 1.6.0.
Cheers,Ashic.

Hello,Is it possible to provide a log4j properties file when submitting jobs to 
a cluster? I know that by default spark looks for a log4j.properties file in 
the conf directory. I'm looking for a way to specify a different 
log4j.properties file (external to the application) without pointing to a 
completely different conf directory. Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks,Ashic.
