Summary: Clear Task Regression Key: AIRFLOW-989 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-989 Project: Apache Airflow Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: Airflow 1.8 Reporter: Siddharth Anand Priority: Critical There is a regression in the current 1.8 rc (e.g. rc5) related to Clear Task behavior. Consider the following test DAG : https://gist.github.com/r39132/b44f7d791e11f882cde28a219df97c29 The test DAG has 4 dummy tasks chained together as d1->d2->d3->d4. d1 is the first task and d4 is the last task. Prior to 1.8, if any of d1..d4 were cleared individually. the scheduler would pick up and rerun the cleared tasks. In 1.8. unless the last task in a DAG is cleared, none of the tasks in the DAG run are rerun. In order for a task that is not the last task in the DAG to be rerun after being cleared, its terminal downstream task needs to be cleared. Another workaround is to use the CLI to rerun the cleared task. Here are some screenshots to illustrate the regressed behavior: Use Case 1 : Clear d1, d2, d3, and d4 in 4 separate DAG runs. In a 5th separate DAG run, clear the entire DAG Run. After Clearing : https://www.dropbox.com/s/mgiwoyaxf5f2pb2/Screenshot%202017-03-15%2010.12.02.png?dl=0 After the Scheduler Runs : https://www.dropbox.com/s/7btwzydv87v3iz0/Screenshot%202017-03-15%2010.15.16.png?dl=0 You'll notice that only the DAG runs with the last task cleared completed by actually running cleared tasks. These are shown as the 1st and 5th DAG runs from the left. Use Case 2 : Clear d1 and d4 in the same DAG Run After Clearing (c.f. 2nd from right DAG run): https://www.dropbox.com/s/2a6by6k28eb7geh/Screenshot%202017-03-15%2013.34.11.png?dl=0 After the Scheduler Runs : https://www.dropbox.com/s/19cg6qr2oqi1ps7/Screenshot%202017-03-15%2013.34.51.png?dl=0 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
