I\'d like to stop various messages that are coming on spark shell.
I tried to edit the log4j.properties
file in order to stop these message.

Answers above are correct but didn't exactly help me as there was additional information I required.
I have just setup Spark so the log4j file still had the '.template' suffix and wasn't being read. I believe that logging then defaults to Spark core logging conf.
So if you are like me and find that the answers above didn't help, then maybe you too have to remove the '.template' suffix from your log4j conf file and then the above works perfectly!
