Flush pending Sentry exceptions before exiting (#7232)
Fixes AIRFLOW-6569 by explicitly flushing pending exceptions prior
to calling `os._exit` within the forked task runner.
> Broken sentry integration
> -------------------------
>
> Key: AIRFLOW-6569
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-6569
> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: configuration, hooks
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.10.7
> Reporter: Robin Edwards
> Priority: Minor
>
> I believe the new forking mechanism AIRFLOW-5931 has unintentionally broken
> the sentry integration.
> Sentry relies on the atexit
> http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/atexit.3.html signal to flush collected
> errors to their servers. Previously as the task was executed in a new process
> as opposed to forked this got invoked. However now os._exit() is called
> (which is semantically correct with child processes)
> https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os._exit
> Point os._exit is called in airflow:
> https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/6627/files#diff-736081a3535ff0b9e60ada2f51154ca4R84
> Also related on sentry bug tracker:
> https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/issues/291
> Unfortunately sentry doesn't provide (from what i can find) a public
> interface for flushing errors to their system. The return value of their
> init() functions returns an object containg a client but the property is
> `_client` so it would be wrong to rely on it.
> I've side stepped this in two ways, you can disable the forking feature
> through patching CAN_FORK to False. But after seeing the performance
> improvement on my workers I opted to monkey patch the whole _exec_by_fork()
> and naughtily call sys.exit instead as a temporary fix.
> I personally dont find the actual sentry integration in airflow useful as it
> doesn't collect errors from the rest of the system only tasks. I've been
> wiring it in through my log config module since before the integration was
> added however its still effected by the above change.
> My personal vote (unless anyone has a better idea) would be to remove the
> integration completely document the way of setting it up through the logging
> class and providing a 'post_execute' hook of some form on the
> StandardTaskRunner where people can flush errors using what not.
