-------------------------------------------
Summary: Why does airlfow allow multiple connections with the same
connection id?
Key: AIRFLOW-5460
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-5460
Project: Apache Airflow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: 1.10.5
Reporter: Nikolas Vanderhoof
I tagged the issue as a Bug, but it's probably a feature that I just don't
understand the reasoning behind.
I was working on creating a custom hook in airflow. I would expect that
get_connection from BaseHook would return deterministically. To my surprise, it
returns a randomly chosen connection from all connections with the given
connection id.
My gut reaction to this: it seems like a bad design choice to allow users to
specify multiple connections with the same id. If there is a compelling reason
for allowing this, I would like to understand it, and at least broadcast that
connections can share ids in the documentation so other users are not as
surprised by the feature.
Not sure who to tag on this, please forgive any mis-tagging here. :)
