liucf915 opened a new issue #2529:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-dolphinscheduler/issues/2529
**Describe the question**
I have a workflow that is executed once every hour. Some tasks started at
the time node cannot be completed normally and have been running all the time.
The worker log finds errors:【[ERROR] 2020-04-26 13:10:03.627
org.apache.dolphinscheduler.server.worker.runner.FetchTaskThread:[261] - task
instance is null. task id : 245 】
