yuqian90 commented on issue #6392: [AIRFLOW-5648] Add ClearTaskOperator for clearing tasks in a DAG URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/6392#issuecomment-548385907 > TBH it feels wrong if you have to clear tasks state on a regular interval! If you have to do that it means you are doing something wrong in your original DAG and it's task. > > We have the `clear` functionality in the UI and CLI so that is something unexpected happens you can clear the task state and run it again! Thanks @kaxil . You are right to point out that there's some inherent problems in the tasks. The underlying problem I often face is that there are some cycles in the tasks that I can't break in the near future, so we have to go back and rerun tasks that already finished earlier on a regular basis. In the [AIRFLOW-5648](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-5648) example, if I need to run tasks `A, C, E, G, H, I, J` one more time after `Sensor` passes, is the best way to do this to copy those tasks into `A1, C1, E1, G1, H1, I1, J1` ? Is there a better alternative provided by Airflow? ``` A >> C >> E >> G >> H >> I >> J >> K >> L >> M >> Finish ^ ^ | |__________ B >> D >> F>>>> | | Sensor >> A1 >> C1 >> E1 >> G1 >> H1 >> I1 >> J1 ```
