Posting this here in case anyone else finds it helpful. We recently upgraded
to Airflow 2.0.1 and were getting the "was the task killed externally?" error
our scheduler logs for one of our dags:
```
[2021-04-20 20:55:10,768] {{scheduler_job.py:1235}} ERROR - Executor reports
task instance <TaskInstance: dag_foo_bar.task-foo-bar 2021-04-20 20:54:00+00:00
[queued]> finished (failed) although the task says its queued. (Info: Celery
command failed on host: ip-10-0-0-113.ec2.internal) Was the task killed
externally?
[2021-04-20 20:56:02,594] {{scheduler_job.py:1235}} ERROR - Executor reports
task instance <TaskInstance: dag_foo_bar.task-foo-bar 2021-04-20 20:55:00+00:00
[queued]> finished (failed) although the task says its queued. (Info: None) Was
the task killed externally?
```
Searching through our Celery worker logs, I found a more accurate error
message, indicating our dag could not be found:
```
[2021-04-20 20:54:28,846: INFO/ForkPoolWorker-15] Executing command in
Celery: ['airflow', 'tasks', 'run', 'dag_foo_bar', 'task-foo-bar',
'2021-04-16T18:57:00+00:00', '--local', '--pool', 'default_pool', '--subdir',
'/efs/airflow/dags/our_dags.py']
[2021-04-20 20:54:29,109: ERROR/ForkPoolWorker-15] Failed to execute task
dag_id could not be found: dag_foo_bar. Either the dag did not exist or it
failed to parse..
```
In this case, it was a small/silly mistake where we accidentally deleted the
dag. Easy fix, but the initial error was a little misleading and threw us off.

> -And looks like this is triggering also thousand of daily emails because the
> flag to send email in case of failure is set to True.-
> I have Airflow setup to use Celery and Redis as a backend queue service.
