When connecting using TransportClient I get this kind of output..

CODE = TransportClient.builder().settings(Settings.builder() .... build().addTransportAddress(IP);

OUTPUT =

```auto
15:34:34.576 [main] INFO org.elasticsearch.plugins - [mynode_node] loaded [], sites []
15:34:34.606 [main] DEBUG org.elasticsearch.threadpool - [mynode_node] creating thread_pool [force_merge], type [fixed], size [1], queue_size [null]
.....
.....

```

Change the logger settings.  
You probably added a logger to your project, don't you?

So change `org.elasticsearch` to `ERROR` for example.

I have tried setting the error level of the root logger.But still get the the same logging output.

Log4jESLoggerFactory.getRootLogger().setLevel("ERROR");

But the problem is setLevel( ) function seems not setting the error [level.in](http://level.in) fact it's an empty method.  
Am I missing something ?

Don't you have a `log4.properties` file or similar in your classpath?
