Description

It's pretty common to add log4j entries to customize the level of specific loggers. e.g. adding the following to log4j.properties:

log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.deploy.security=DEBUG

This works fine on previous releases but not for the current build for spark-shell. This is probably caused by SPARK-25118.
