> What is the metaDB? I searched the airflow repo and couldn't find reference to this. Sorry, I believe the official term is the "Metadata Database", but that's a mouthful so I just shorthand it as "metaDB"; however, that isn't an official Airflow term. > Also why aren't XCOM's static, we set variables and retrieve them from downstream tasks (they aren't urls, but they don't change...)? My concern is not whether XComs are static or not, but rather that using XComs to surface static extra links (i.e. specific extra links which do not change per task instance) is heavy-handed and adds unnecessary load to the database. I mentioned a few examples in this issue description where you might want to refer to the same static URL for a particular operator's extra links. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
