Hello all, I would like to discuss the new Airflow Improvement Proposal which aims to give Airflow users the possibility to trigger backfill externally (via API or UI).
In short this AIP proposes: - create new API endpoint to trigger backfill job (and same mechanism for web ui) - create new celery task to run backfill on worker machines (in case of Celery-like executors) - extend scheduler mechanism of removing zombies to take care of backfill-triggered tasks and dagruns - improve UI so users can see difference between scheduled and backfilled runs I drafted a doc with the proposal: https://s.apache.org/backfill-aip so we can discuss it there before moving it to cwiki. Happy to hear your opinion on this. And have a peaceful and warm holidays! Best, Tomek
