dmariassy opened a new issue #10790: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/10790
**Apache Airflow version**: 1.10.9 **Kubernetes version (if you are using kubernetes)** (use `kubectl version`): Server: v1.10.13, Client: v1.17.0 **Environment**: - **Cloud provider or hardware configuration**: AWS - **OS** (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) - **Kernel** (e.g. `uname -a`): `Linux airflow-web-54fc4fb694-ftkp5 4.19.123-coreos #1 SMP Fri May 22 19:21:11 -00 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux` - **Others**: Redis, CeleryExecutor **What happened**: In line with the guidelines laid out in [AIRFLOW-7120](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-7120), I'm copying over a JIRA for a bug that has significant negative impact on our pipeline SLAs. The original ticket is [AIRFLOW-5071](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-5071) which has a lot of details from various users who use ExternalTaskSensors in reschedule mode and see their tasks going through the following unexpected state transitions: running -> up_for_reschedule -> scheduled -> queued -> **up_for_retry** In our case, this issue seems to affect approximately ~2000 tasks per day. <img width="1225" alt="Screenshot 2020-09-08 at 09 01 03" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9336831/92443593-02b35000-f1b2-11ea-9249-420b6e656b49.png"> **What you expected to happen**: I would expect that tasks would go through the following state transitions instead: running -> up_for_reschedule -> scheduled -> queued -> **running** **How to reproduce it**: Unfortunately, I don't have configuration available that could be used to easily reproduce the issue at the moment. However, based on the thread in AIRFLOW-5071, the problem seems to arise in deployments that use a large number of sensors in reschedule mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
