----------------------------------------
Summary: Add timezone setting to Airflow DAG
Key: AIRFLOW-1710
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1710
Project: Apache Airflow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: DAG
Affects Versions: 1.9.0
Reporter: Chris Riccomini
We have some use cases where we'd like to run DAGs pegged to a specific
timezone.
Customers want things to happen in their time zone. If they have DST, it's not
a constant offset from UTC. If they aren't in the US, their DST isn't a
constant offset from California's DST (where we run). GB, for example.
One way to solve this would be to have the DAG start with PythonOperator task
that calculates the difference between UTC and the expected timezone, and
sleeps for that amount of time.
Another (cleaner?) way would be to add a field to the DAG model that allows the
DAG author to specify the timezone that the DAG should be scheduled in. For
example, we could have our Airflow box continue to run on UTC, but schedule a
specific DAG for Pacific/US, which would adjust according to daylight savings
time. We could schedule other DAGs to run on GB DST, etc.
