adjust log4j log level for a class

In all adjustments you can do in log4j (and there’s a lot), you may want to adjust the verbosity level of a particular class.

For example, I wanted to decrease verbosity of CapacityScheduler because I had the ResourceManager log full of

2015-12-15 12:11:06,667 INFO capacity.CapacityScheduler (CapacityScheduler.java:completedContainer(1190)) - Null container completed...
2015-12-15 12:11:06,667 INFO capacity.CapacityScheduler (CapacityScheduler.java:completedContainer(1190)) - Null container completed...
2015-12-15 12:11:06,667 INFO capacity.CapacityScheduler (CapacityScheduler.java:completedContainer(1190)) - Null container completed...
2015-12-15 12:11:06,668 INFO capacity.CapacityScheduler (CapacityScheduler.java:completedContainer(1190)) - Null container completed...

I first found the CapacityScheduler “full name” length (meaning with the package) referenced under : 

log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.resourcemanager.scheduler.capacity.CapacityScheduler=WARN

Restarted ResourceManager, and voilà!

    The org.apache.log4j.Level levels. You can also define your custom levels by sub-classing the Level class.

So, what do you think ?
