Airflow Master

The 2.0 release of the Airflow is a significant upgrade, and includes substantial major changes, and some of them may be breaking. Existing code written for earlier versions of this project will may require updates to use this version. Sometimes necessary configuration changes are also required. This document describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your usage.

If you experience issues or have questions, please file an issue.

Major changes

This section describes the major changes that have been made in this release.

Python 2 support is going away

WARNING: Breaking change

Airflow 1.10 will be the last release series to support Python 2. Airflow 2.0.0 will only support Python 3.6 and up.

If you have a specific task that still requires Python 2 then you can use the PythonVirtualenvOperator for this.

Drop legacy UI in favor of FAB RBAC UI

WARNING: Breaking change

Previously we were using two versions of UI, which were hard to maintain as we need to implement/update the same feature in both versions. With this release we've removed the older UI in favor of Flask App Builder RBAC UI. No need to set the RBAC UI explicitly in the configuration now as this is the only default UI. We did it to avoid the huge maintenance burden of two independent user interfaces

Please note that that custom auth backends will need re-writing to target new FAB based UI.

As part of this change, a few configuration items in [webserver] section are removed and no longer applicable, including authenticate, filter_by_owner, owner_mode, and rbac.

Before upgrading to this release, we recommend activating the new FAB RBAC UI. For that, you should set the rbac options in [webserver] in the airflow.cfg file to true

[webserver]
rbac = true

In order to login to the interface, you need to create an administrator account.

airflow create_user \
    --role Admin \
    --username admin \
    --firstname FIRST_NAME \
    --lastname LAST_NAME \
    --email EMAIL@example.org

If you have already installed Airflow 2.0, you can create a user with the command airflow users create. You don't need to make changes to the configuration file as the FAB RBAC UI is the only supported UI.

airflow users create \
    --role Admin \
    --username admin \
    --firstname FIRST_NAME \
    --lastname LAST_NAME \
    --email EMAIL@example.org

Changes to import paths

Formerly the core code was maintained by the original creators - Airbnb. The code that was in the contrib package was supported by the community. The project was passed to the Apache community and currently the entire code is maintained by the community, so now the division has no justification, and it is only due to historical reasons. In Airflow 2.0, we want to organize packages and move integrations with third party services to the airflow.providers package.

All changes made are backward compatible, but if you use the old import paths you will see a deprecation warning. The old import paths can be abandoned in the future.

Migration Guide from Experimental API to Stable API v1

In Airflow 2.0, we added the new REST API. Experimental API still works, but support may be dropped in the future. If your application is still using the experimental API, you should consider migrating to the stable API.

The stable API exposes many endpoints available through the webserver. Here are the differences between the two endpoints that will help you migrate from the experimental REST API to the stable REST API.

Base Endpoint

The base endpoint for the stable API v1 is /api/v1/. You must change the experimental base endpoint from /api/experimental/ to /api/v1/. The table below shows the differences:

Purpose	Experimental REST API Endpoint	Stable REST API Endpoint
Create a DAGRuns(POST)	/api/experimental/dags/<DAG_ID>/dag_runs	/api/v1/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns
List DAGRuns(GET)	/api/experimental/dags/<DAG_ID>/dag_runs	/api/v1/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns
Check Health status(GET)	/api/experimental/test	/api/v1/health
Task information(GET)	/api/experimental/dags/<DAG_ID>/tasks/<TASK_ID>	/api/v1//dags/{dag_id}/tasks/{task_id}
TaskInstance public variable(GET)	/api/experimental/dags/<DAG_ID>/dag_runs/string:execution_date/tasks/<TASK_ID>	/api/v1/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns/{dag_run_id}/taskInstances/{task_id}
Pause DAG(PATCH)	/api/experimental/dags/<DAG_ID>/paused/string:paused	/api/v1/dags/{dag_id}
Information of paused DAG(GET)	/api/experimental/dags/<DAG_ID>/paused	/api/v1/dags/{dag_id}
Latest DAG Runs(GET)	/api/experimental/latest_runs	/api/v1/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns
Get all pools(GET)	/api/experimental/pools	/api/v1/pools
Create a pool(POST)	/api/experimental/pools	/api/v1/pools
Delete a pool(DELETE)	/api/experimental/pools/string:name	/api/v1/pools/{pool_name}
DAG Lineage(GET)	/api/experimental/lineage/<DAG_ID>/string:execution_date/	/api/v1/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns/{dag_run_id}/taskInstances/{task_id}/xcomEntries

Note

This endpoint /api/v1/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns also allows you to filter dag_runs with parameters such as start_date, end_date, execution_date etc in the query string. Therefore the operation previously performed by this endpoint

/api/experimental/dags/<string:dag_id>/dag_runs/<string:execution_date>

can now be handled with filter parameters in the query string. Getting information about latest runs can be accomplished with the help of filters in the query string of this endpoint(/api/v1/dags/{dag_id}/dagRuns). Please check the Stable API reference documentation for more information

Changes to Exception handling for from DAG callbacks

Exception from DAG callbacks used to crash scheduler. In order to make scheduler more robust, we have changed this behavior to log the exception instead. On top of that, a new dag.callback_exceptions counter metric has been added to help better monitor callback exceptions.

CLI changes in Airflow 2.0

The Airflow CLI has been organized so that related commands are grouped together as subcommands, which means that if you use these commands in your scripts, you have to make changes to them.

This section describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your script.

The ability to manipulate users from the command line has been changed. airflow create_user, airflow delete_user and airflow list_users has been grouped to a single command airflow users with optional flags create, list and delete.

The airflow list_dags command is now airflow dags list, airflow pause is airflow dags pause, etc.

In Airflow 1.10 and 2.0 there is an airflow config command but there is a difference in behavior. In Airflow 1.10, it prints all config options while in Airflow 2.0, it's a command group. airflow config is now airflow config list. You can check other options by running the command airflow config --help

For a complete list of updated CLI commands, see https://airflow.apache.org/cli.html.

You can learn about the commands by running airflow --help. For example to get help about the celery group command, you have to run the help command: airflow celery --help.

Remove serve_logs command from CLI

The serve_logs command has been deleted. This command should be run only by internal application mechanisms and there is no need for it to be accessible from the CLI interface.

dag_state CLI command

If the DAGRun was triggered with conf key/values passed in, they will also be printed in the dag_state CLI response ie. running, {"name": "bob"} whereas in in prior releases it just printed the state: ie. running

Deprecating ignore_first_depends_on_past on backfill command and default it to True

When doing backfill with depends_on_past dags, users will need to pass --ignore-first-depends-on-past. We should default it as true to avoid confusion

Database schema changes

In order to migrate the database, you should use the command airflow db upgrade, but in some cases manual steps are required.

Unique conn_id in connection table

Previously, Airflow allowed users to add more than one connection with the same conn_id and on access it would choose one connection randomly. This acted as a basic load balancing and fault tolerance technique, when used in conjunction with retries.

This behavior caused some confusion for users, and there was no clear evidence if it actually worked well or not.

Now the conn_id will be unique. If you already have duplicates in your metadata database, you will have to manage those duplicate connections before upgrading the database.

Not-nullable conn_type column in connection table

The conn_type column in the connection table must contain content. Previously, this rule was enforced by application logic, but was not enforced by the database schema.

If you made any modifications to the table directly, make sure you don't have null in the conn_type column.

Configuration changes

This release contains many changes that require a change in the configuration of this application or other application that integrate with it.

This section describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to.

airflow.contrib.utils.log has been moved

Formerly the core code was maintained by the original creators - Airbnb. The code that was in the contrib package was supported by the community. The project was passed to the Apache community and currently the entire code is maintained by the community, so now the division has no justification, and it is only due to historical reasons. In Airflow 2.0, we want to organize packages and move integrations with third party services to the airflow.providers package.

To clean up, the following packages were moved:

Old package	New package
`airflow.contrib.utils.log`	`airflow.utils.log`
`airflow.utils.log.gcs_task_handler`	`airflow.providers.google.cloud.log.gcs_task_handler`
`airflow.utils.log.wasb_task_handler`	`airflow.providers.microsoft.azure.log.wasb_task_handler`
`airflow.utils.log.stackdriver_task_handler`	`airflow.providers.google.cloud.log.stackdriver_task_handler`
`airflow.utils.log.s3_task_handler`	`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.log.s3_task_handler`
`airflow.utils.log.es_task_handler`	`airflow.providers.elasticsearch.log.es_task_handler`
`airflow.utils.log.cloudwatch_task_handler`	`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.log.cloudwatch_task_handler`

You should update the import paths if you are setting log configurations with the logging_config_class option. The old import paths still works but can be abandoned.

SendGrid emailer has been moved

Formerly the core code was maintained by the original creators - Airbnb. The code that was in the contrib package was supported by the community. The project was passed to the Apache community and currently the entire code is maintained by the community, so now the division has no justification, and it is only due to historical reasons.

To clean up, the send_mail function from the airflow.contrib.utils.sendgrid module has been moved.

If your configuration file looks like this:

[email]
email_backend = airflow.contrib.utils.sendgrid.send_email

It should look like this now:

[email]
email_backend = airflow.providers.sendgrid.utils.emailer.send_email

The old configuration still works but can be abandoned.

Unify `hostname_callable` option in `core` section

The previous option used a colon(:) to split the module from function. Now the dot(.) is used.

The change aims to unify the format of all options that refer to objects in the airflow.cfg file.

Custom executors is loaded using full import path

In previous versions of Airflow it was possible to use plugins to load custom executors. It is still possible, but the configuration has changed. Now you don't have to create a plugin to configure a custom executor, but you need to provide the full path to the module in the executor option in the core section. The purpose of this change is to simplify the plugin mechanism and make it easier to configure executor.

If your module was in the path my_acme_company.executors.MyCustomExecutor and the plugin was called my_plugin then your configuration looks like this

[core]
executor = my_plguin.MyCustomExecutor

And now it should look like this:

[core]
executor = my_acme_company.executors.MyCustomExecutor

The old configuration is still works but can be abandoned at any time.

Drop plugin support for stat_name_handler

In previous version, you could use plugins mechanism to configure stat_name_handler. You should now use the stat_name_handler option in [scheduler] section to achieve the same effect.

If your plugin looked like this and was available through the test_plugin path:

def my_stat_name_handler(stat):
    return stat

class AirflowTestPlugin(AirflowPlugin):
    name = "test_plugin"
    stat_name_handler = my_stat_name_handler

then your airflow.cfg file should look like this:

[scheduler]
stat_name_handler=test_plugin.my_stat_name_handler

This change is intended to simplify the statsd configuration.

Logging configuration has been moved to new section

The following configurations have been moved from [core] to the new [logging] section.

base_log_folder
remote_logging
remote_log_conn_id
remote_base_log_folder
encrypt_s3_logs
logging_level
fab_logging_level
logging_config_class
colored_console_log
colored_log_format
colored_formatter_class
log_format
simple_log_format
task_log_prefix_template
log_filename_template
log_processor_filename_template
dag_processor_manager_log_location
task_log_reader

Remove gcp_service_account_keys option in airflow.cfg file

This option has been removed because it is no longer supported by the Google Kubernetes Engine. The new recommended service account keys for the Google Cloud Platform management method is Workload Identity.

Fernet is enabled by default

The fernet mechanism is enabled by default to increase the security of the default installation. In order to restore the previous behavior, the user must consciously set an empty key in the fernet_key option of section [core] in the airflow.cfg file.

At the same time, this means that the apache-airflow[crypto] extra-packages are always installed. However, this requires that your operating system has libffi-dev installed.

Changes to propagating Kubernetes worker annotations

kubernetes_annotations configuration section has been removed. A new key worker_annotations has been added to existing kubernetes section instead. That is to remove restriction on the character set for k8s annotation keys. All key/value pairs from kubernetes_annotations should now go to worker_annotations as a json. I.e. instead of e.g.

[kubernetes_annotations]
annotation_key = annotation_value
annotation_key2 = annotation_value2

it should be rewritten to

[kubernetes]
worker_annotations = { "annotation_key" : "annotation_value", "annotation_key2" : "annotation_value2" }

Remove run_duration

We should not use the run_duration option anymore. This used to be for restarting the scheduler from time to time, but right now the scheduler is getting more stable and therefore using this setting is considered bad and might cause an inconsistent state.

Rename pool statsd metrics

Used slot has been renamed to running slot to make the name self-explanatory and the code more maintainable.

This means pool.used_slots.<pool_name> metric has been renamed to pool.running_slots.<pool_name>. The Used Slots column in Pools Web UI view has also been changed to Running Slots.

Removal of Mesos Executor

The Mesos Executor is removed from the code base as it was not widely used and not maintained. Mailing List Discussion on deleting it.

Change dag loading duration metric name

Change DAG file loading duration metric from dag.loading-duration.<dag_id> to dag.loading-duration.<dag_file>. This is to better handle the case when a DAG file has multiple DAGs.

Changes to the core operators/hooks

We strive to ensure that there are no changes that may affect the end user and your files, but this release may contain changes that will require changes to your DAG files.

This section describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your DAG File, if you use core operators or any other.

BaseSensorOperator to make respect the trigger_rule of downstream tasks

Previously, BaseSensorOperator with setting soft_fail=True becomes skipped itself and skips all its downstream tasks unconditionally, when it fails. The point is not respect the trigger_rule of downstream tasks, when it fails. In the new behavior, the trigger_rule of downstream tasks are respected. User can preserve/achieve the original behaviour by setting every downstream task to all_success, because downstream tasks with trigger_rule all_success (i.e. the default) are skipped when upstream task is skipped.

BaseOperator uses metaclass

BaseOperator class uses a BaseOperatorMeta as a metaclass. This meta class is based on abc.ABCMeta. If your custom operator uses different metaclass then you will have to adjust it.

Remove SQL support in base_hook

Remove get_records and get_pandas_df and run from base_hook, which only apply for sql like hook, If want to use them, or your custom hook inherit them, please use airflow.hooks.dbapi_hook.DbApiHook

Assigning task to a DAG using bitwise shift (bit-shift) operators are no longer supported

Previously, you could assign a task to a DAG as follows:

dag = DAG('my_dag')
dummy = DummyOperator(task_id='dummy')

dag >> dummy

This is no longer supported. Instead, we recommend using the DAG as context manager:

with DAG('my_dag'):
    dummy = DummyOperator(task_id='dummy')

Removed deprecated import mechanism

The deprecated import mechanism has been removed so the import of modules becomes more consistent and explicit.

For example: from airflow.operators import BashOperator becomes from airflow.operators.bash_operator import BashOperator

Changes to sensor imports

Sensors are now accessible via airflow.sensors and no longer via airflow.operators.sensors.

For example: from airflow.operators.sensors import BaseSensorOperator becomes from airflow.sensors.base_sensor_operator import BaseSensorOperator

Skipped tasks can satisfy wait_for_downstream

Previously, a task instance with wait_for_downstream=True will only run if the downstream task of the previous task instance is successful. Meanwhile, a task instance with depends_on_past=True will run if the previous task instance is either successful or skipped. These two flags are close siblings yet they have different behavior. This inconsistency in behavior made the API less intuitive to users. To maintain consistent behavior, both successful or skipped downstream task can now satisfy the wait_for_downstream=True flag.

`airflow.utils.helpers.cross_downstream`

`airflow.utils.helpers.chain`

The chain and cross_downstream methods are now moved to airflow.models.baseoperator module from airflow.utils.helpers module.

The baseoperator module seems to be a better choice to keep closely coupled methods together. Helpers module is supposed to contain standalone helper methods that can be imported by all classes.

The chain method and cross_downstream method both use BaseOperator. If any other package imports any classes or functions from helpers module, then it automatically has an implicit dependency to BaseOperator. That can often lead to cyclic dependencies.

More information in AIFLOW-6392

In Airflow <2.0 you imported those two methods like this:

from airflow.utils.helpers import chain
from airflow.utils.helpers import cross_downstream

In Airflow 2.0 it should be changed to:

from airflow.models.baseoperator import chain
from airflow.models.baseoperator import cross_downstream

`airflow.operators.python.BranchPythonOperator`

BranchPythonOperator will now return a value equal to the task_id of the chosen branch, where previously it returned None. Since it inherits from BaseOperator it will do an xcom_push of this value if do_xcom_push=True. This is useful for downstream decision-making.

`airflow.sensors.sql_sensor.SqlSensor`

SQLSensor now consistent with python bool() function and the allow_null parameter has been removed.

It will resolve after receiving any value that is casted to True with python bool(value). That changes the previous response receiving NULL or '0'. Earlier '0' has been treated as success criteria. NULL has been treated depending on value of allow_nullparameter. But all the previous behaviour is still achievable setting param success to lambda x: x is None or str(x) not in ('0', '').

`airflow.operators.dagrun_operator.TriggerDagRunOperator`

The TriggerDagRunOperator now takes a conf argument to which a dict can be provided as conf for the DagRun. As a result, the python_callable argument was removed. PR: apache#6317.

`airflow.operators.python.PythonOperator`

provide_context argument on the PythonOperator was removed. The signature of the callable passed to the PythonOperator is now inferred and argument values are always automatically provided. There is no need to explicitly provide or not provide the context anymore. For example:

def myfunc(execution_date):
    print(execution_date)

python_operator = PythonOperator(task_id='mytask', python_callable=myfunc, dag=dag)

Notice you don't have to set provide_context=True, variables from the task context are now automatically detected and provided.

All context variables can still be provided with a double-asterisk argument:

def myfunc(**context):
    print(context)  # all variables will be provided to context

python_operator = PythonOperator(task_id='mytask', python_callable=myfunc)

The task context variable names are reserved names in the callable function, hence a clash with op_args and op_kwargs results in an exception:

def myfunc(dag):
    # raises a ValueError because "dag" is a reserved name
    # valid signature example: myfunc(mydag)

python_operator = PythonOperator(
    task_id='mytask',
    op_args=[1],
    python_callable=myfunc,
)

The change is backwards compatible, setting provide_context will add the provide_context variable to the kwargs (but won't do anything).

PR: #5990

`airflow.sensors.filesystem.FileSensor`

FileSensor is now takes a glob pattern, not just a filename. If the filename you are looking for has *, ?, or [ in it then you should replace these with [*], [?], and [[].

`airflow.operators.subdag_operator.SubDagOperator`

SubDagOperator is changed to use Airflow scheduler instead of backfill to schedule tasks in the subdag. User no longer need to specify the executor in SubDagOperator.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.datastore.CloudDatastoreExportEntitiesOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.datastore.CloudDatastoreImportEntitiesOperator`

`airflow.providers.cncf.kubernetes.operators.kubernetes_pod.KubernetesPodOperator`

`airflow.providers.ssh.operators.ssh.SSHOperator`

`airflow.providers.microsoft.winrm.operators.winrm.WinRMOperator`

`airflow.operators.bash.BashOperator`

`airflow.providers.docker.operators.docker.DockerOperator`

`airflow.providers.http.operators.http.SimpleHttpOperator`

The do_xcom_push flag (a switch to push the result of an operator to xcom or not) was appearing in different incarnations in different operators. It's function has been unified under a common name (do_xcom_push) on BaseOperator. This way it is also easy to globally disable pushing results to xcom.

The following operators were affected:

DatastoreExportOperator (Backwards compatible)
DatastoreImportOperator (Backwards compatible)
KubernetesPodOperator (Not backwards compatible)
SSHOperator (Not backwards compatible)
WinRMOperator (Not backwards compatible)
BashOperator (Not backwards compatible)
DockerOperator (Not backwards compatible)
SimpleHttpOperator (Not backwards compatible)

See AIRFLOW-3249 for details

`airflow.operators.latest_only_operator.LatestOnlyOperator`

In previous versions, the LatestOnlyOperator forcefully skipped all (direct and undirect) downstream tasks on its own. From this version on the operator will only skip direct downstream tasks and the scheduler will handle skipping any further downstream dependencies.

No change is needed if only the default trigger rule all_success is being used.

If the DAG relies on tasks with other trigger rules (i.e. all_done) being skipped by the LatestOnlyOperator, adjustments to the DAG need to be made to commodate the change in behaviour, i.e. with additional edges from the LatestOnlyOperator.

The goal of this change is to achieve a more consistent and configurale cascading behaviour based on the BaseBranchOperator (see AIRFLOW-2923 and AIRFLOW-1784).

`airflow.sensors.time_sensor.TimeSensor`

Previously TimeSensor always compared the target_time with the current time in UTC.

Now it will compare target_time with the current time in the timezone of the DAG, defaulting to the default_timezone in the global config.

Changes to the core Python API

We strive to ensure that there are no changes that may affect the end user, and your Python files, but this release may contain changes that will require changes to your plugins, DAG File or other integration.

Only changes unique to this provider are described here. You should still pay attention to the changes that have been made to the core (including core operators) as they can affect the integration behavior of this provider.

This section describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your Python files.

Removed sub-package imports from `airflow/init.py`

The imports LoggingMixin, conf, and AirflowException have been removed from airflow/__init__.py. All implicit references of these objects will no longer be valid. To migrate, all usages of each old path must be replaced with its corresponding new path.

Old Path (Implicit Import)	New Path (Explicit Import)
`airflow.LoggingMixin`	`airflow.utils.log.logging_mixin.LoggingMixin`
`airflow.conf`	`airflow.configuration.conf`
`airflow.AirflowException`	`airflow.exceptions.AirflowException`

Variables removed from the task instance context

The following variables were removed from the task instance context:

end_date
latest_date
tables

`airflow.contrib.utils.Weekday`

Formerly the core code was maintained by the original creators - Airbnb. The code that was in the contrib package was supported by the community. The project was passed to the Apache community and currently the entire code is maintained by the community, so now the division has no justification, and it is only due to historical reasons.

To clean up, Weekday enum has been moved from airflow.contrib.utils into airflow.utils module.

`airflow.models.connection.Connection`

The connection module has new deprecated methods:

Connection.parse_from_uri
Connection.log_info
Connection.debug_info

and one deprecated function:

parse_netloc_to_hostname

Previously, users could create a connection object in two ways

conn_1 = Connection(conn_id="conn_a", uri="mysql://AAA/")
# or
conn_2 = Connection(conn_id="conn_a")
conn_2.parse_uri(uri="mysql://AAA/")

Now the second way is not supported.

Connection.log_info and Connection.debug_info method have been deprecated. Read each Connection field individually or use the default representation (__repr__).

The old method is still works but can be abandoned at any time. The changes are intended to delete method that are rarely used.

`airflow.models.dag.DAG.create_dagrun`

DAG.create_dagrun accepts run_type and does not require run_id This change is caused by adding run_type column to DagRun.

Previous signature:

def create_dagrun(self,
                  run_id,
                  state,
                  execution_date=None,
                  start_date=None,
                  external_trigger=False,
                  conf=None,
                  session=None):

current:

def create_dagrun(self,
                  state,
                  execution_date=None,
                  run_id=None,
                  start_date=None,
                  external_trigger=False,
                  conf=None,
                  run_type=None,
                  session=None):

If user provides run_id then the run_type will be derived from it by checking prefix, allowed types : manual, scheduled, backfill (defined by airflow.utils.types.DagRunType).

If user provides run_type and execution_date then run_id is constructed as {run_type}__{execution_data.isoformat()}.

Airflow should construct dagruns using run_type and execution_date, creation using run_id is preserved for user actions.

`airflow.models.dagrun.DagRun`

Use DagRunType.SCHEDULED.value instead of DagRun.ID_PREFIX

All the run_id prefixes for different kind of DagRuns have been grouped into a single enum in airflow.utils.types.DagRunType.

Previously, there were defined in various places, example as ID_PREFIX class variables for DagRun, BackfillJob and in _trigger_dag function.

Was:

>> from airflow.models.dagrun import DagRun
>> DagRun.ID_PREFIX
scheduled__

Replaced by:

>> from airflow.utils.types import DagRunType
>> DagRunType.SCHEDULED.value
scheduled

`airflow.utils.file.TemporaryDirectory`

We remove airflow.utils.file.TemporaryDirectory Since Airflow dropped support for Python < 3.5 there's no need to have this custom implementation of TemporaryDirectory because the same functionality is provided by tempfile.TemporaryDirectory.

Now users instead of import from airflow.utils.files import TemporaryDirectory should do from tempfile import TemporaryDirectory. Both context managers provide the same interface, thus no additional changes should be required.

`airflow.AirflowMacroPlugin`

We removed airflow.AirflowMacroPlugin class. The class was there in airflow package but it has not been used (apparently since 2015). It has been removed.

`airflow.settings.CONTEXT_MANAGER_DAG`

CONTEXT_MANAGER_DAG was removed from settings. It's role has been taken by DagContext in 'airflow.models.dag'. One of the reasons was that settings should be rather static than store dynamic context from the DAG, but the main one is that moving the context out of settings allowed to untangle cyclic imports between DAG, BaseOperator, SerializedDAG, SerializedBaseOperator which was part of AIRFLOW-6010.

`airflow.utils.log.logging_mixin.redirect_stderr`

`airflow.utils.log.logging_mixin.redirect_stdout`

Function redirect_stderr and redirect_stdout from airflow.utils.log.logging_mixin module has been deleted because it can be easily replaced by the standard library. The functions of the standard library are more flexible and can be used in larger cases.

The code below

import logging

from airflow.utils.log.logging_mixin import redirect_stderr, redirect_stdout

logger = logging.getLogger("custom-logger")
with redirect_stdout(logger, logging.INFO), redirect_stderr(logger, logging.WARN):
    print("I love Airflow")

can be replaced by the following code:

from contextlib import redirect_stdout, redirect_stderr
import logging

from airflow.utils.log.logging_mixin import StreamLogWriter

logger = logging.getLogger("custom-logger")

with redirect_stdout(StreamLogWriter(logger, logging.INFO)), \
        redirect_stderr(StreamLogWriter(logger, logging.WARN)):
    print("I Love Airflow")

`airflow.models.baseoperator.BaseOperator`

Now, additional arguments passed to BaseOperator cause an exception. Previous versions of Airflow took additional arguments and displayed a message on the console. When the message was not noticed by users, it caused very difficult to detect errors.

In order to restore the previous behavior, you must set an True in the allow_illegal_arguments option of section [operators] in the airflow.cfg file. In the future it is possible to completely delete this option.

`airflow.models.dagbag.DagBag`

Passing store_serialized_dags argument to DagBag.init and accessing DagBag.store_serialized_dags property are deprecated and will be removed in future versions.

Previous signature:

DagBag(
    dag_folder=None,
    include_examples=conf.getboolean('core', 'LOAD_EXAMPLES'),
    safe_mode=conf.getboolean('core', 'DAG_DISCOVERY_SAFE_MODE'),
    store_serialized_dags=False
):

current:

DagBag(
    dag_folder=None,
    include_examples=conf.getboolean('core', 'LOAD_EXAMPLES'),
    safe_mode=conf.getboolean('core', 'DAG_DISCOVERY_SAFE_MODE'),
    read_dags_from_db=False
):

If you were using positional arguments, it requires no change but if you were using keyword arguments, please change store_serialized_dags to read_dags_from_db.

Similarly, if you were using DagBag().store_serialized_dags property, change it to DagBag().read_dags_from_db.

Changes in `google` provider package

We strive to ensure that there are no changes that may affect the end user and your Python files, but this release may contain changes that will require changes to your configuration, DAG Files or other integration e.g. custom operators.

Only changes unique to this provider are described here. You should still pay attention to the changes that have been made to the core (including core operators) as they can affect the integration behavior of this provider.

This section describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your if you use operators or hooks which integrate with Google services (including Google Cloud Platform - GCP).

Normalize gcp_conn_id for Google Cloud Platform

Previously not all hooks and operators related to Google Cloud Platform use gcp_conn_id as parameter for GCP connection. There is currently one parameter which apply to most services. Parameters like datastore_conn_id, bigquery_conn_id, google_cloud_storage_conn_id and similar have been deprecated. Operators that require two connections are not changed.

Following components were affected by normalization:

airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.datastore.DatastoreHook

Unify default conn_id for Google Cloud Platform

Previously not all hooks and operators related to Google Cloud Platform use google_cloud_default as a default conn_id. There is currently one default variant. Values like google_cloud_storage_default, bigquery_default, google_cloud_datastore_default have been deprecated. The configuration of existing relevant connections in the database have been preserved. To use those deprecated GCP conn_id, you need to explicitly pass their conn_id into operators/hooks. Otherwise, google_cloud_default will be used as GCP's conn_id by default.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.dataflow.DataflowHook`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataflow.DataflowCreateJavaJobOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataflow.DataflowTemplatedJobStartOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataflow.DataflowCreatePythonJobOperator`

To use project_id argument consistently across GCP hooks and operators, we did the following changes:

Changed order of arguments in DataflowHook.start_python_dataflow. Uses with positional arguments may break.
Changed order of arguments in DataflowHook.is_job_dataflow_running. Uses with positional arguments may break.
Changed order of arguments in DataflowHook.cancel_job. Uses with positional arguments may break.
Added optional project_id argument to DataflowCreateJavaJobOperator constructor.
Added optional project_id argument to DataflowTemplatedJobStartOperator constructor.
Added optional project_id argument to DataflowCreatePythonJobOperator constructor.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.sensors.gcs.GCSUploadSessionCompleteSensor`

To provide more precise control in handling of changes to objects in underlying GCS Bucket the constructor of this sensor now has changed.

Old Behavior: This constructor used to optionally take previous_num_objects: int.
New replacement constructor kwarg: previous_objects: Optional[Set[str]].

Most users would not specify this argument because the bucket begins empty and the user wants to treat any files as new.

Example of Updating usage of this sensor: Users who used to call:

GCSUploadSessionCompleteSensor(bucket='my_bucket', prefix='my_prefix', previous_num_objects=1)

Will now call:

GCSUploadSessionCompleteSensor(bucket='my_bucket', prefix='my_prefix', previous_num_objects={'.keep'})

Where '.keep' is a single file at your prefix that the sensor should not consider new.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.bigquery.BigQueryBaseCursor`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.bigquery.BigQueryHook`

To simplify BigQuery operators (no need of Cursor) and standardize usage of hooks within all GCP integration methods from BiqQueryBaseCursor were moved to BigQueryHook. Using them by from Cursor object is still possible due to preserved backward compatibility but they will raise DeprecationWarning. The following methods were moved:

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.bigquery.BigQueryBaseCursor`

Since BigQuery is the part of the GCP it was possible to simplify the code by handling the exceptions by usage of the airflow.providers.google.common.hooks.base.GoogleBaseHook.catch_http_exception decorator however it changes exceptions raised by the following methods:

airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.bigquery.BigQueryBaseCursor.run_table_delete raises AirflowException instead of Exception.
airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.bigquery.BigQueryBaseCursor.create_empty_dataset raises AirflowException instead of ValueError.
airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.bigquery.BigQueryBaseCursor.get_dataset raises AirflowException instead of ValueError.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.bigquery.BigQueryCreateEmptyTableOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.bigquery.BigQueryCreateEmptyDatasetOperator`

Idempotency was added to BigQueryCreateEmptyTableOperator and BigQueryCreateEmptyDatasetOperator. But to achieve that try / except clause was removed from create_empty_dataset and create_empty_table methods of BigQueryHook.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.dataflow.DataflowHook`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.mlengine.MLEngineHook`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.pubsub.PubSubHook`

The change in GCP operators implies that GCP Hooks for those operators require now keyword parameters rather than positional ones in all methods where project_id is used. The methods throw an explanatory exception in case they are called using positional parameters.

Other GCP hooks are unaffected.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.pubsub.PubSubHook`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.pubsub.PubSubTopicCreateOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.pubsub.PubSubSubscriptionCreateOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.pubsub.PubSubTopicDeleteOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.pubsub.PubSubSubscriptionDeleteOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.pubsub.PubSubPublishOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.sensors.pubsub.PubSubPullSensor`

In the PubSubPublishOperator and PubSubHook.publsh method the data field in a message should be bytestring (utf-8 encoded) rather than base64 encoded string.

Due to the normalization of the parameters within GCP operators and hooks a parameters like project or topic_project are deprecated and will be substituted by parameter project_id. In PubSubHook.create_subscription hook method in the parameter subscription_project is replaced by subscription_project_id. Template fields are updated accordingly and old ones may not work.

It is required now to pass key-word only arguments to PubSub hook.

These changes are not backward compatible.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.kubernetes_engine.GKEStartPodOperator`

The gcp_conn_id parameter in GKEPodOperator is required. In previous versions, it was possible to pass the None value to the gcp_conn_id in the GKEStartPodOperator operator, which resulted in credentials being determined according to the Application Default Credentials strategy.

Now this parameter requires a value. To restore the previous behavior, configure the connection without specifying the service account.

Detailed information about connection management is available: Google Cloud Platform Connection.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.gcs.GCSHook`

The following parameters have been replaced in all the methods in GCSHook:
- bucket is changed to bucket_name
- object is changed to object_name
The maxResults parameter in GoogleCloudStorageHook.list has been renamed to max_results for consistency.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataproc.DataprocSubmitPigJobOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataproc.DataprocSubmitHiveJobOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataproc.DataprocSubmitSparkSqlJobOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataproc.DataprocSubmitSparkJobOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataproc.DataprocSubmitHadoopJobOperator`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataproc.DataprocSubmitPySparkJobOperator`

The 'properties' and 'jars' properties for the Dataproc related operators (DataprocXXXOperator) have been renamed from dataproc_xxxx_properties and dataproc_xxx_jars to dataproc_properties and dataproc_jarsrespectively. Arguments for dataproc_properties dataproc_jars

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.cloud_storage_transfer_service.CloudDataTransferServiceCreateJobOperator`

To obtain pylint compatibility the filter argument in CloudDataTransferServiceCreateJobOperator has been renamed to request_filter.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.cloud_storage_transfer_service.CloudDataTransferServiceHook`

To obtain pylint compatibility the filter argument in CloudDataTransferServiceHook.list_transfer_job and CloudDataTransferServiceHook.list_transfer_operations has been renamed to request_filter.

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.bigquery.BigQueryHook`

In general all hook methods are decorated with @GoogleBaseHook.fallback_to_default_project_id thus parameters to hook can only be passed via keyword arguments.

create_empty_table method accepts now table_resource parameter. If provided all other parameters are ignored.
create_empty_dataset will now use values from dataset_reference instead of raising error if parameters were passed in dataset_reference and as arguments to method. Additionally validation of dataset_reference is done using Dataset.from_api_repr. Exception and log messages has been changed.
update_dataset requires now new fields argument (breaking change)
delete_dataset has new signature (dataset_id, project_id, ...) previous one was (project_id, dataset_id, ...) (breaking change)
get_tabledata returns list of rows instead of API response in dict format. This method is deprecated in favor of list_rows. (breaking change)

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.hooks.dataflow.DataflowHook.start_python_dataflow`

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataflow.DataflowCreatePythonJobOperator`

Change python3 as Dataflow Hooks/Operators default interpreter

Now the py_interpreter argument for DataFlow Hooks/Operators has been changed from python2 to python3.

`airflow.providers.google.common.hooks.base_google.GoogleBaseHook`

To simplify the code, the decorator provide_gcp_credential_file has been moved from the inner-class.

Instead of @GoogleBaseHook._Decorators.provide_gcp_credential_file, you should write @GoogleBaseHook.provide_gcp_credential_file

`airflow.providers.google.cloud.operators.dataproc.DataprocCreateClusterOperator`

It is highly recommended to have 1TB+ disk size for Dataproc to have sufficient throughput: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/performance

Hence, the default value for master_disk_size in DataprocCreateClusterOperator has beeen changes from 500GB to 1TB.

`<airflow class="providers google c"></airflow>loud.operators.bigquery.BigQueryGetDatasetTablesOperator`

We changed signature of BigQueryGetDatasetTablesOperator.

Before:

BigQueryGetDatasetTablesOperator(dataset_id: str, dataset_resource: dict, ...)

After:

BigQueryGetDatasetTablesOperator(dataset_resource: dict, dataset_id: Optional[str] = None, ...)

Changes in `amazon` provider package

We strive to ensure that there are no changes that may affect the end user, and your Python files, but this release may contain changes that will require changes to your configuration, DAG Files or other integration e.g. custom operators.

Only changes unique to this provider are described here. You should still pay attention to the changes that have been made to the core (including core operators) as they can affect the integration behavior of this provider.

This section describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your if you use operators or hooks which integrate with Amazon services (including Amazon Web Service - AWS).

Migration of AWS components

All AWS components (hooks, operators, sensors, example DAGs) will be grouped together as decided in AIP-21. Migrated components remain backwards compatible but raise a DeprecationWarning when imported from the old module. Migrated are:

Old path	New path
airflow.hooks.S3_hook.S3Hook	airflow.providers.amazon.aws.hooks.s3.S3Hook
airflow.contrib.hooks.aws_athena_hook.AWSAthenaHook	airflow.providers.amazon.aws.hooks.athena.AWSAthenaHook

airflow.contrib.sensors.aws_sqs_sensor.SQSSensor	airflow.providers.amazon.aws.sensors.sqs.SQSSensor

`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.hooks.emr.EmrHook`

`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.operators.emr_add_steps.EmrAddStepsOperator`

`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.operators.emr_create_job_flow.EmrCreateJobFlowOperator`

`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.operators.emr_terminate_job_flow.EmrTerminateJobFlowOperator`

The default value for the aws_conn_id was accidently set to 's3_default' instead of 'aws_default' in some of the emr operators in previous versions. This was leading to EmrStepSensor not being able to find their corresponding emr cluster. With the new changes in the EmrAddStepsOperator, EmrTerminateJobFlowOperator and EmrCreateJobFlowOperator this issue is solved.

`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.operators.batch.AwsBatchOperator`

The AwsBatchOperator was refactored to extract an AwsBatchClient (and inherit from it). The changes are mostly backwards compatible and clarify the public API for these classes; some private methods on AwsBatchOperator for polling a job status were relocated and renamed to surface new public methods on AwsBatchClient (and via inheritance on AwsBatchOperator). A couple of job attributes are renamed on an instance of AwsBatchOperator; these were mostly used like private attributes but they were surfaced in the public API, so any use of them needs to be updated as follows:

AwsBatchOperator().jobId -> AwsBatchOperator().job_id
AwsBatchOperator().jobName -> AwsBatchOperator().job_name

The AwsBatchOperator gets a new option to define a custom model for waiting on job status changes. The AwsBatchOperator can use a new waiters parameter, an instance of AwsBatchWaiters, to specify that custom job waiters will be used to monitor a batch job. See the latest API documentation for details.

`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.sensors.athena.AthenaSensor`

Replace parameter max_retires with max_retries to fix typo.

`airflow.providers.amazon.aws.hooks.s3.S3Hook`

Note: The order of arguments has changed for check_for_prefix. The bucket_name is now optional. It falls back to the connection schema attribute. The delete_objects now returns None instead of a response, since the method now makes multiple api requests when the keys list length is > 1000.

Changes in other provider packages

We strive to ensure that there are no changes that may affect the end user and your Python files, but this release may contain changes that will require changes to your configuration, DAG Files or other integration e.g. custom operators.

Only changes unique to providers are described here. You should still pay attention to the changes that have been made to the core (including core operators) as they can affect the integration behavior of this provider.

This section describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your if you use any code located in airflow.providers package.

Removed Hipchat integration

Hipchat has reached end of life and is no longer available.

For more information please see https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Stride-articles/Stride-and-Hipchat-Cloud-have-reached-End-of-Life-updated/ba-p/940248

`airflow.providers.salesforce.hooks.salesforce.SalesforceHook`

Replace parameter sandbox with domain. According to change in simple-salesforce package.

Rename sign_in function to get_conn.

`airflow.providers.apache.pinot.hooks.pinot.PinotAdminHook.create_segment`

Rename parameter name from format to segment_format in PinotAdminHook function create_segment fro pylint compatible

`airflow.providers.apache.hive.hooks.hive.HiveMetastoreHook.get_partitions`

Rename parameter name from filter to partition_filter in HiveMetastoreHook function get_partitions for pylint compatible

`airflow.providers.ftp.hooks.ftp.FTPHook.list_directory`

Remove unnecessary parameter nlst in FTPHook function list_directory for pylint compatible

`airflow.providers.postgres.hooks.postgres.PostgresHook.copy_expert`

Remove unnecessary parameter open in PostgresHook function copy_expert for pylint compatible

`airflow.providers.opsgenie.operators.opsgenie_alert.OpsgenieAlertOperator`

Change parameter name from visibleTo to visible_to in OpsgenieAlertOperator for pylint compatible

`airflow.providers.imap.hooks.imap.ImapHook`

`airflow.providers.imap.sensors.imap_attachment.ImapAttachmentSensor`

ImapHook:

The order of arguments has changed for has_mail_attachment, retrieve_mail_attachments and download_mail_attachments.
A new mail_filter argument has been added to each of those.

`airflow.providers.http.hooks.http.HttpHook`

The HTTPHook is now secured by default: verify=True (before: verify=False) This can be overwriten by using the extra_options param as {'verify': False}.

`airflow.providers.cloudant.hooks.cloudant.CloudantHook`

upgraded cloudant version from >=0.5.9,<2.0 to >=2.0
removed the use of the schema attribute in the connection
removed db function since the database object can also be retrieved by calling cloudant_session['database_name']

For example:

from airflow.providers.cloudant.hooks.cloudant import CloudantHook

with CloudantHook().get_conn() as cloudant_session:
    database = cloudant_session['database_name']

See the docs for more information on how to use the new cloudant version.

`airflow.providers.snowflake`

When initializing a Snowflake hook or operator, the value used for snowflake_conn_id was always snowflake_conn_id, regardless of whether or not you specified a value for it. The default snowflake_conn_id value is now switched to snowflake_default for consistency and will be properly overriden when specified.

Other changes

This release also includes changes that fall outside any of the sections above.

Standardised "extra" requirements

We standardised the Extras names and synchronized providers package names with the main airflow extras.

We deprecated a number of extras in 2.0.

Deprecated extras	New extras
atlas	apache.atlas
aws	amazon
azure	microsoft.azure
azure_blob_storage	microsoft.azure
azure_data_lake	microsoft.azure
azure_cosmos	microsoft.azure
azure_container_instances	microsoft.azure
cassandra	apache.cassandra
druid	apache.druid
gcp	google
gcp_api	google
hdfs	apache.hdfs
hive	apache.hive
kubernetes	cncf.kubernetes
mssql	microsoft.mssql
pinot	apache.pinot
webhdfs	apache.webhdfs
winrm	apache.winrm

For example:

If you want to install integration for Microsoft Azure, then instead of pip install apache-airflow[atlas] you should use pip install apache-airflow[apache.atlas].

If you want to install integration for Microsoft Azure, then instead of

pip install 'apache-airflow[azure_blob_storage,azure_data_lake,azure_cosmos,azure_container_instances]'

you should execute pip install 'apache-airflow[azure]'

If you want to install integration for Amazon Web Services, then instead of pip install 'apache-airflow[s3,emr]', you should execute pip install 'apache-airflow[aws]'

The deprecated extras will be removed in 2.1:

Simplify the response payload of endpoints /dag_stats and /task_stats

The response of endpoints /dag_stats and /task_stats help UI fetch brief statistics about DAGs and Tasks. The format was like

{
    "example_http_operator": [
        {
            "state": "success",
            "count": 0,
            "dag_id": "example_http_operator",
            "color": "green"
        },
        {
            "state": "running",
            "count": 0,
            "dag_id": "example_http_operator",
            "color": "lime"
        },
        ...
],
...
}

The dag_id was repeated in the payload, which makes the response payload unnecessarily bigger.

Now the dag_id will not appear repeated in the payload, and the response format is like

{
    "example_http_operator": [
        {
            "state": "success",
            "count": 0,
            "color": "green"
        },
        {
            "state": "running",
            "count": 0,
            "color": "lime"
        },
        ...
],
...
}

Airflow 1.10.11

Use NULL as default value for dag.description

Now use NULL as default value for dag.description in dag table

Restrict editing DagRun State in the old UI (Flask-admin based UI)

Before 1.10.11 it was possible to edit DagRun State in the /admin/dagrun/ page to any text.

In Airflow 1.10.11+, the user can only choose the states from the list.

Experimental API will deny all request by default.

The previous default setting was to allow all API requests without authentication, but this poses security risks to users who miss this fact. This changes the default for new installs to deny all requests by default.

Note: This will not change the behavior for existing installs, please update check your airflow.cfg

If you wish to have the experimental API work, and aware of the risks of enabling this without authentication (or if you have your own authentication layer in front of Airflow) you can get the previous behaviour on a new install by setting this in your airflow.cfg:

auth_backend = airflow.api.auth.backend.default

XCom Values can no longer be added or changed from the Webserver

Since XCom values can contain pickled data, we would no longer allow adding or changing XCom values from the UI.

Default for `run_as_user` configured has been changed to 50000 from 0

The UID to run the first process of the Worker PODs when using has been changed to 50000 from the previous default of 0. The previous default was an empty string but the code used 0 if it was empty string.

Before:

[kubernetes]
run_as_user =

After:

[kubernetes]
run_as_user = 50000

This is done to avoid running the container as root user.

Airflow 1.10.10

Setting Empty string to a Airflow Variable will return an empty string

Previously when you set an Airflow Variable with an empty string (''), the value you used to get back was None. This will now return an empty string (''')

Example:

>> Variable.set('test_key', '')
>> Variable.get('test_key')

The above code returned None previously, now it will return ''.

Make behavior of `none_failed` trigger rule consistent with documentation

The behavior of the none_failed trigger rule is documented as "all parents have not failed (failed or upstream_failed) i.e. all parents have succeeded or been skipped." As previously implemented, the actual behavior would skip if all parents of a task had also skipped.

Add new trigger rule `none_failed_or_skipped`

The fix to none_failed trigger rule breaks workflows that depend on the previous behavior. If you need the old behavior, you should change the tasks with none_failed trigger rule to none_failed_or_skipped.

Success Callback will be called when a task in marked as success from UI

When a task is marked as success by a user from Airflow UI - on_success_callback will be called

Airflow 1.10.9

No breaking changes.

Airflow 1.10.8

Failure callback will be called when task is marked failed

When task is marked failed by user or task fails due to system failures - on failure call back will be called as part of clean up

See AIRFLOW-5621 for details

Airflow 1.10.7

Changes in experimental API execution_date microseconds replacement

The default behavior was to strip the microseconds (and milliseconds, etc) off of all dag runs triggered by by the experimental REST API. The default behavior will change when an explicit execution_date is passed in the request body. It will also now be possible to have the execution_date generated, but keep the microseconds by sending replace_microseconds=false in the request body. The default behavior can be overridden by sending replace_microseconds=true along with an explicit execution_date

Infinite pool size and pool size query optimisation

Pool size can now be set to -1 to indicate infinite size (it also includes optimisation of pool query which lead to poor task n^2 performance of task pool queries in MySQL).

Viewer won't have edit permissions on DAG view.

Google Cloud Storage Hook

The GoogleCloudStorageDownloadOperator can either write to a supplied filename or return the content of a file via xcom through store_to_xcom_key - both options are mutually exclusive.

Airflow 1.10.6

BaseOperator::render_template function signature changed

Previous versions of the BaseOperator::render_template function required an attr argument as the first positional argument, along with content and context. This function signature was changed in 1.10.6 and the attr argument is no longer required (or accepted).

In order to use this function in subclasses of the BaseOperator, the attr argument must be removed:

result = self.render_template('myattr', self.myattr, context)  # Pre-1.10.6 call
...
result = self.render_template(self.myattr, context)  # Post-1.10.6 call

Changes to `aws_default` Connection's default region

The region of Airflow's default connection to AWS (aws_default) was previously set to us-east-1 during installation.

The region now needs to be set manually, either in the connection screens in Airflow, via the ~/.aws config files, or via the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable.

Some DAG Processing metrics have been renamed

The following metrics are deprecated and won't be emitted in Airflow 2.0:

scheduler.dagbag.errors and dagbag_import_errors -- use dag_processing.import_errors instead
dag_file_processor_timeouts -- use dag_processing.processor_timeouts instead
collect_dags -- use dag_processing.total_parse_time instead
dag.loading-duration.<basename> -- use dag_processing.last_duration.<basename> instead
dag_processing.last_runtime.<basename> -- use dag_processing.last_duration.<basename> instead

Airflow 1.10.5

No breaking changes.

Airflow 1.10.4

Export MySQL timestamps as UTC

MySqlToGoogleCloudStorageOperator now exports TIMESTAMP columns as UTC by default, rather than using the default timezone of the MySQL server. This is the correct behavior for use with BigQuery, since BigQuery assumes that TIMESTAMP columns without time zones are in UTC. To preserve the previous behavior, set ensure_utc to False.

Changes to DatastoreHook

removed argument version from get_conn function and added it to the hook's __init__ function instead and renamed it to api_version
renamed the partialKeys argument of function allocate_ids to partial_keys

Changes to GoogleCloudStorageHook

the discovery-based api (googleapiclient.discovery) used in GoogleCloudStorageHook is now replaced by the recommended client based api (google-cloud-storage). To know the difference between both the libraries, read https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/client-libraries-explained. PR: #5054
as a part of this replacement, the multipart & num_retries parameters for GoogleCloudStorageHook.upload method have been deprecated.

The client library uses multipart upload automatically if the object/blob size is more than 8 MB - source code. The client also handles retries automatically
the generation parameter is deprecated in GoogleCloudStorageHook.delete and GoogleCloudStorageHook.insert_object_acl.

Updating to google-cloud-storage >= 1.16 changes the signature of the upstream client.get_bucket() method from get_bucket(bucket_name: str) to get_bucket(bucket_or_name: Union[str, Bucket]). This method is not directly exposed by the airflow hook, but any code accessing the connection directly (GoogleCloudStorageHook().get_conn().get_bucket(...) or similar) will need to be updated.

Changes in writing Logs to Elasticsearch

The elasticsearch_ prefix has been removed from all config items under the [elasticsearch] section. For example elasticsearch_host is now just host.

Removal of `non_pooled_task_slot_count` and `non_pooled_backfill_task_slot_count`

non_pooled_task_slot_count and non_pooled_backfill_task_slot_count are removed in favor of a real pool, e.g. default_pool.

By default tasks are running in default_pool. default_pool is initialized with 128 slots and user can change the number of slots through UI/CLI. default_pool cannot be removed.

`pool` config option in Celery section to support different Celery pool implementation

The new pool config option allows users to choose different pool implementation. Default value is "prefork", while choices include "prefork" (default), "eventlet", "gevent" or "solo". This may help users achieve better concurrency performance in different scenarios.

For more details about Celery pool implementation, please refer to:

https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/workers.html#concurrency
https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/concurrency/eventlet.html

Change to method signature in `BaseOperator` and `DAG` classes

The signature of the get_task_instances method in the BaseOperator and DAG classes has changed. The change does not change the behavior of the method in either case.

For `BaseOperator`

Old signature:

def get_task_instances(self, session, start_date=None, end_date=None):

New signature:

@provide_session
def get_task_instances(self, start_date=None, end_date=None, session=None):

For `DAG`

Old signature:

def get_task_instances(
    self, session, start_date=None, end_date=None, state=None):

New signature:

@provide_session
def get_task_instances(
    self, start_date=None, end_date=None, state=None, session=None):

In either case, it is necessary to rewrite calls to the get_task_instances method that currently provide the session positional argument. New calls to this method look like:

# if you can rely on @provide_session
dag.get_task_instances()
# if you need to provide the session
dag.get_task_instances(session=your_session)

Airflow 1.10.3

New `dag_discovery_safe_mode` config option

If dag_discovery_safe_mode is enabled, only check files for DAGs if they contain the strings "airflow" and "DAG". For backwards compatibility, this option is enabled by default.

RedisPy dependency updated to v3 series

If you are using the Redis Sensor or Hook you may have to update your code. See redis-py porting instructions to check if your code might be affected (MSET, MSETNX, ZADD, and ZINCRBY all were, but read the full doc).

SLUGIFY_USES_TEXT_UNIDECODE or AIRFLOW_GPL_UNIDECODE no longer required

It is no longer required to set one of the environment variables to avoid a GPL dependency. Airflow will now always use text-unidecode if unidecode was not installed before.

new `sync_parallelism` config option in celery section

The new sync_parallelism config option will control how many processes CeleryExecutor will use to fetch celery task state in parallel. Default value is max(1, number of cores - 1)

Rename of BashTaskRunner to StandardTaskRunner

BashTaskRunner has been renamed to StandardTaskRunner. It is the default task runner so you might need to update your config.

task_runner = StandardTaskRunner

Modification to config file discovery

If the AIRFLOW_CONFIG environment variable was not set and the ~/airflow/airflow.cfg file existed, airflow previously used ~/airflow/airflow.cfg instead of $AIRFLOW_HOME/airflow.cfg. Now airflow will discover its config file using the $AIRFLOW_CONFIG and $AIRFLOW_HOME environment variables rather than checking for the presence of a file.

Changes in Google Cloud Platform related operators

Most GCP-related operators have now optional PROJECT_ID parameter. In case you do not specify it, the project id configured in GCP Connection is used. There will be an AirflowException thrown in case PROJECT_ID parameter is not specified and the connection used has no project id defined. This change should be backwards compatible as earlier version of the operators had PROJECT_ID mandatory.

Operators involved:

GCP Compute Operators
- GceInstanceStartOperator
- GceInstanceStopOperator
- GceSetMachineTypeOperator
GCP Function Operators
- GcfFunctionDeployOperator
GCP Cloud SQL Operators
- CloudSqlInstanceCreateOperator
- CloudSqlInstancePatchOperator
- CloudSqlInstanceDeleteOperator
- CloudSqlInstanceDatabaseCreateOperator
- CloudSqlInstanceDatabasePatchOperator
- CloudSqlInstanceDatabaseDeleteOperator

Other GCP operators are unaffected.

Changes in Google Cloud Platform related hooks

The change in GCP operators implies that GCP Hooks for those operators require now keyword parameters rather than positional ones in all methods where project_id is used. The methods throw an explanatory exception in case they are called using positional parameters.

Hooks involved:

GceHook
GcfHook
CloudSqlHook

Other GCP hooks are unaffected.

Changed behaviour of using default value when accessing variables

It's now possible to use None as a default value with the default_var parameter when getting a variable, e.g.

foo = Variable.get("foo", default_var=None)
if foo is None:
    handle_missing_foo()

(Note: there is already Variable.setdefault() which me be helpful in some cases.)

This changes the behaviour if you previously explicitly provided None as a default value. If your code expects a KeyError to be thrown, then don't pass the default_var argument.

Removal of `airflow_home` config setting

There were previously two ways of specifying the Airflow "home" directory (~/airflow by default): the AIRFLOW_HOME environment variable, and the airflow_home config setting in the [core] section.

If they had two different values different parts of the code base would end up with different values. The config setting has been deprecated, and you should remove the value from the config file and set AIRFLOW_HOME environment variable if you need to use a non default value for this.

(Since this setting is used to calculate what config file to load, it is not possible to keep just the config option)

Change of two methods signatures in `GCPTransferServiceHook`

The signature of the create_transfer_job method in GCPTransferServiceHook class has changed. The change does not change the behavior of the method.

Old signature:

def create_transfer_job(self, description, schedule, transfer_spec, project_id=None):

New signature:

def create_transfer_job(self, body):

It is necessary to rewrite calls to method. The new call looks like this:

body = {
  'status': 'ENABLED',
  'projectId': project_id,
  'description': description,
  'transferSpec': transfer_spec,
  'schedule': schedule,
}
gct_hook.create_transfer_job(body)

The change results from the unification of all hooks and adjust to the official recommendations for the Google Cloud Platform.

The signature of wait_for_transfer_job method in GCPTransferServiceHook has changed.

Old signature:

def wait_for_transfer_job(self, job):

New signature:

def wait_for_transfer_job(self, job, expected_statuses=(GcpTransferOperationStatus.SUCCESS, )):

The behavior of wait_for_transfer_job has changed:

Old behavior:

wait_for_transfer_job would wait for the SUCCESS status in specified jobs operations.

New behavior:

You can now specify an array of expected statuses. wait_for_transfer_job now waits for any of them.

The default value of expected_statuses is SUCCESS so that change is backwards compatible.

Moved two classes to different modules

The class GoogleCloudStorageToGoogleCloudStorageTransferOperator has been moved from airflow.contrib.operators.gcs_to_gcs_transfer_operator to airflow.contrib.operators.gcp_transfer_operator

the class S3ToGoogleCloudStorageTransferOperator has been moved from airflow.contrib.operators.s3_to_gcs_transfer_operator to airflow.contrib.operators.gcp_transfer_operator

The change was made to keep all the operators related to GCS Transfer Services in one file.

The previous imports will continue to work until Airflow 2.0

Fixed typo in --driver-class-path in SparkSubmitHook

The driver_classapth argument to SparkSubmit Hook and Operator was generating --driver-classpath on the spark command line, but this isn't a valid option to spark.

The argument has been renamed to driver_class_path and the option it generates has been fixed.

Airflow 1.10.2

New `dag_processor_manager_log_location` config option

The DAG parsing manager log now by default will be log into a file, where its location is controlled by the new dag_processor_manager_log_location config option in core section.

DAG level Access Control for new RBAC UI

Extend and enhance new Airflow RBAC UI to support DAG level ACL. Each dag now has two permissions(one for write, one for read) associated('can_dag_edit', 'can_dag_read'). The admin will create new role, associate the dag permission with the target dag and assign that role to users. That user can only access / view the certain dags on the UI that he has permissions on. If a new role wants to access all the dags, the admin could associate dag permissions on an artificial view(all_dags) with that role.

We also provide a new cli command(sync_perm) to allow admin to auto sync permissions.

Modification to `ts_nodash` macro

ts_nodash previously contained TimeZone information along with execution date. For Example: 20150101T000000+0000. This is not user-friendly for file or folder names which was a popular use case for ts_nodash. Hence this behavior has been changed and using ts_nodash will no longer contain TimeZone information, restoring the pre-1.10 behavior of this macro. And a new macro ts_nodash_with_tz has been added which can be used to get a string with execution date and timezone info without dashes.

Examples:

ts_nodash: 20150101T000000
ts_nodash_with_tz: 20150101T000000+0000

Semantics of next_ds/prev_ds changed for manually triggered runs

next_ds/prev_ds now map to execution_date instead of the next/previous schedule-aligned execution date for DAGs triggered in the UI.

User model changes

This patch changes the User.superuser field from a hardcoded boolean to a Boolean() database column. User.superuser will default to False, which means that this privilege will have to be granted manually to any users that may require it.

For example, open a Python shell and

from airflow import models, settings

session = settings.Session()
users = session.query(models.User).all()  # [admin, regular_user]

users[1].superuser  # False

admin = users[0]
admin.superuser = True
session.add(admin)
session.commit()

Custom auth backends interface change

We have updated the version of flask-login we depend upon, and as a result any custom auth backends might need a small change: is_active, is_authenticated, and is_anonymous should now be properties. What this means is if previously you had this in your user class

def is_active(self):
  return self.active

then you need to change it like this

@property
def is_active(self):
  return self.active

Support autodetected schemas to GoogleCloudStorageToBigQueryOperator

GoogleCloudStorageToBigQueryOperator is now support schema auto-detection is available when you load data into BigQuery. Unfortunately, changes can be required.

If BigQuery tables are created outside of airflow and the schema is not defined in the task, multiple options are available:

define a schema_fields:

gcs_to_bq.GoogleCloudStorageToBigQueryOperator(
  ...
  schema_fields={...})

or define a schema_object:

gcs_to_bq.GoogleCloudStorageToBigQueryOperator(
  ...
  schema_object='path/to/schema/object)

or enabled autodetect of schema:

gcs_to_bq.GoogleCloudStorageToBigQueryOperator(
  ...
  autodetect=True)

Airflow 1.10.1

min_file_parsing_loop_time config option temporarily disabled

The scheduler.min_file_parsing_loop_time config option has been temporarily removed due to some bugs.

StatsD Metrics

The scheduler_heartbeat metric has been changed from a gauge to a counter. Each loop of the scheduler will increment the counter by 1. This provides a higher degree of visibility and allows for better integration with Prometheus using the StatsD Exporter. The scheduler's activity status can be determined by graphing and alerting using a rate of change of the counter. If the scheduler goes down, the rate will drop to 0.

EMRHook now passes all of connection's extra to CreateJobFlow API

EMRHook.create_job_flow has been changed to pass all keys to the create_job_flow API, rather than just specific known keys for greater flexibility.

However prior to this release the "emr_default" sample connection that was created had invalid configuration, so creating EMR clusters might fail until your connection is updated. (Ec2KeyName, Ec2SubnetId, TerminationProtection and KeepJobFlowAliveWhenNoSteps were all top-level keys when they should be inside the "Instances" dict)

LDAP Auth Backend now requires TLS

Connecting to an LDAP server over plain text is not supported anymore. The certificate presented by the LDAP server must be signed by a trusted certificate, or you must provide the cacert option under [ldap] in the config file.

If you want to use LDAP auth backend without TLS then you will have to create a custom-auth backend based on https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/1.10.0/airflow/contrib/auth/backends/ldap_auth.py

Airflow 1.10

Installation and upgrading requires setting SLUGIFY_USES_TEXT_UNIDECODE=yes in your environment or AIRFLOW_GPL_UNIDECODE=yes. In case of the latter a GPL runtime dependency will be installed due to a dependency (python-nvd3 -> python-slugify -> unidecode).

Replace DataProcHook.await calls to DataProcHook.wait

The method name was changed to be compatible with the Python 3.7 async/await keywords

Setting UTF-8 as default mime_charset in email utils

Add a configuration variable(default_dag_run_display_number) to control numbers of dag run for display

Add a configuration variable(default_dag_run_display_number) under webserver section to control the number of dag runs to show in UI.

Default executor for SubDagOperator is changed to SequentialExecutor

New Webserver UI with Role-Based Access Control

The current webserver UI uses the Flask-Admin extension. The new webserver UI uses the Flask-AppBuilder (FAB) extension. FAB has built-in authentication support and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), which provides configurable roles and permissions for individual users.

To turn on this feature, in your airflow.cfg file (under [webserver]), set the configuration variable rbac = True, and then run airflow command, which will generate the webserver_config.py file in your $AIRFLOW_HOME.

Setting up Authentication

FAB has built-in authentication support for DB, OAuth, OpenID, LDAP, and REMOTE_USER. The default auth type is AUTH_DB.

For any other authentication type (OAuth, OpenID, LDAP, REMOTE_USER), see the Authentication section of FAB docs for how to configure variables in webserver_config.py file.

Once you modify your config file, run airflow db init to generate new tables for RBAC support (these tables will have the prefix ab_).

Creating an Admin Account

Once configuration settings have been updated and new tables have been generated, create an admin account with airflow create_user command.

Using your new UI

Run airflow webserver to start the new UI. This will bring up a log in page, enter the recently created admin username and password.

There are five roles created for Airflow by default: Admin, User, Op, Viewer, and Public. To configure roles/permissions, go to the Security tab and click List Roles in the new UI.

Breaking changes

AWS Batch Operator renamed property queue to job_queue to prevent conflict with the internal queue from CeleryExecutor - AIRFLOW-2542
Users created and stored in the old users table will not be migrated automatically. FAB's built-in authentication support must be reconfigured.
Airflow dag home page is now /home (instead of /admin).
All ModelViews in Flask-AppBuilder follow a different pattern from Flask-Admin. The /admin part of the URL path will no longer exist. For example: /admin/connection becomes /connection/list, /admin/connection/new becomes /connection/add, /admin/connection/edit becomes /connection/edit, etc.
Due to security concerns, the new webserver will no longer support the features in the Data Profiling menu of old UI, including Ad Hoc Query, Charts, and Known Events.
HiveServer2Hook.get_results() always returns a list of tuples, even when a single column is queried, as per Python API 2.
UTC is now the default timezone: Either reconfigure your workflows scheduling in UTC or set default_timezone as explained in https://airflow.apache.org/timezone.html#default-time-zone

airflow.contrib.sensors.hdfs_sensors renamed to airflow.contrib.sensors.hdfs_sensor

We now rename airflow.contrib.sensors.hdfs_sensors to airflow.contrib.sensors.hdfs_sensor for consistency purpose.

MySQL setting required

We now rely on more strict ANSI SQL settings for MySQL in order to have sane defaults. Make sure to have specified explicit_defaults_for_timestamp=1 in your my.cnf under [mysqld]

Celery config

To make the config of Airflow compatible with Celery, some properties have been renamed:

celeryd_concurrency -> worker_concurrency
celery_result_backend -> result_backend
celery_ssl_active -> ssl_active
celery_ssl_cert -> ssl_cert
celery_ssl_key -> ssl_key

Resulting in the same config parameters as Celery 4, with more transparency.

GCP Dataflow Operators

Dataflow job labeling is now supported in Dataflow{Java,Python}Operator with a default "airflow-version" label, please upgrade your google-cloud-dataflow or apache-beam version to 2.2.0 or greater.

BigQuery Hooks and Operator

The bql parameter passed to BigQueryOperator and BigQueryBaseCursor.run_query has been deprecated and renamed to sql for consistency purposes. Using bql will still work (and raise a DeprecationWarning), but is no longer supported and will be removed entirely in Airflow 2.0

Redshift to S3 Operator

With Airflow 1.9 or lower, Unload operation always included header row. In order to include header row, we need to turn off parallel unload. It is preferred to perform unload operation using all nodes so that it is faster for larger tables. So, parameter called include_header is added and default is set to False. Header row will be added only if this parameter is set True and also in that case parallel will be automatically turned off (PARALLEL OFF)

Google cloud connection string

With Airflow 1.9 or lower, there were two connection strings for the Google Cloud operators, both google_cloud_storage_default and google_cloud_default. This can be confusing and therefore the google_cloud_storage_default connection id has been replaced with google_cloud_default to make the connection id consistent across Airflow.

Logging Configuration

With Airflow 1.9 or lower, FILENAME_TEMPLATE, PROCESSOR_FILENAME_TEMPLATE, LOG_ID_TEMPLATE, END_OF_LOG_MARK were configured in airflow_local_settings.py. These have been moved into the configuration file, and hence if you were using a custom configuration file the following defaults need to be added.

[core]
fab_logging_level = WARN
log_filename_template = {{{{ ti.dag_id }}}}/{{{{ ti.task_id }}}}/{{{{ ts }}}}/{{{{ try_number }}}}.log
log_processor_filename_template = {{{{ filename }}}}.log

[elasticsearch]
elasticsearch_log_id_template = {{dag_id}}-{{task_id}}-{{execution_date}}-{{try_number}}
elasticsearch_end_of_log_mark = end_of_log

The previous setting of log_task_reader is not needed in many cases now when using the default logging config with remote storages. (Previously it needed to be set to s3.task or similar. This is not needed with the default config anymore)

Change of per-task log path

With the change to Airflow core to be timezone aware the default log path for task instances will now include timezone information. This will by default mean all previous task logs won't be found. You can get the old behaviour back by setting the following config options:

[core]
log_filename_template = {{ ti.dag_id }}/{{ ti.task_id }}/{{ execution_date.strftime("%%Y-%%m-%%dT%%H:%%M:%%S") }}/{{ try_number }}.log

Airflow 1.9

SSH Hook updates, along with new SSH Operator & SFTP Operator

SSH Hook now uses the Paramiko library to create an ssh client connection, instead of the sub-process based ssh command execution previously (<1.9.0), so this is backward incompatible.

update SSHHook constructor
use SSHOperator class in place of SSHExecuteOperator which is removed now. Refer to test_ssh_operator.py for usage info.
SFTPOperator is added to perform secure file transfer from serverA to serverB. Refer to test_sftp_operator.py for usage info.
No updates are required if you are using ftpHook, it will continue to work as is.

S3Hook switched to use Boto3

The airflow.hooks.S3_hook.S3Hook has been switched to use boto3 instead of the older boto (a.k.a. boto2). This results in a few backwards incompatible changes to the following classes: S3Hook:

the constructors no longer accepts s3_conn_id. It is now called aws_conn_id.
the default connection is now "aws_default" instead of "s3_default"
the return type of objects returned by get_bucket is now boto3.s3.Bucket
the return type of get_key, and get_wildcard_key is now an boto3.S3.Object.

If you are using any of these in your DAGs and specify a connection ID you will need to update the parameter name for the connection to "aws_conn_id": S3ToHiveTransfer, S3PrefixSensor, S3KeySensor, RedshiftToS3Transfer.

Logging update

The logging structure of Airflow has been rewritten to make configuration easier and the logging system more transparent.

A quick recap about logging

A logger is the entry point into the logging system. Each logger is a named bucket to which messages can be written for processing. A logger is configured to have a log level. This log level describes the severity of the messages that the logger will handle. Python defines the following log levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR or CRITICAL.

Each message that is written to the logger is a Log Record. Each log record contains a log level indicating the severity of that specific message. A log record can also contain useful metadata that describes the event that is being logged. This can include details such as a stack trace or an error code.

When a message is given to the logger, the log level of the message is compared to the log level of the logger. If the log level of the message meets or exceeds the log level of the logger itself, the message will undergo further processing. If it doesn’t, the message will be ignored.

Once a logger has determined that a message needs to be processed, it is passed to a Handler. This configuration is now more flexible and can be easily be maintained in a single file.

Changes in Airflow Logging

Airflow's logging mechanism has been refactored to use Python’s built-in logging module to perform logging of the application. By extending classes with the existing LoggingMixin, all the logging will go through a central logger. Also the BaseHook and BaseOperator already extend this class, so it is easily available to do logging.

The main benefit is easier configuration of the logging by setting a single centralized python file. Disclaimer; there is still some inline configuration, but this will be removed eventually. The new logging class is defined by setting the dotted classpath in your ~/airflow/airflow.cfg file:

# Logging class
# Specify the class that will specify the logging configuration
# This class has to be on the python classpath
logging_config_class = my.path.default_local_settings.LOGGING_CONFIG

The logging configuration file needs to be on the PYTHONPATH, for example $AIRFLOW_HOME/config. This directory is loaded by default. Any directory may be added to the PYTHONPATH, this might be handy when the config is in another directory or a volume is mounted in case of Docker.

The config can be taken from airflow/config_templates/airflow_local_settings.py as a starting point. Copy the contents to ${AIRFLOW_HOME}/config/airflow_local_settings.py, and alter the config as is preferred.

To customize the logging (for example, use logging rotate), define one or more of the logging handles that Python has to offer. For more details about the Python logging, please refer to the official logging documentation.

Furthermore, this change also simplifies logging within the DAG itself:

[2017-09-25 20:17:04,927] {<stdin>:1} ERROR - I want to say something..

Template path of the file_task_handler

The file_task_handler logger has been made more flexible. The default format can be changed, {dag_id}/{task_id}/{execution_date}/{try_number}.log by supplying Jinja templating in the FILENAME_TEMPLATE configuration variable. See the file_task_handler for more information.

I'm using S3Log or GCSLogs, what do I do!?

If you are logging to Google cloud storage, please see the Google cloud platform documentation for logging instructions.

If you are using S3, the instructions should be largely the same as the Google cloud platform instructions above. You will need a custom logging config. The REMOTE_BASE_LOG_FOLDER configuration key in your airflow config has been removed, therefore you will need to take the following steps:

Copy the logging configuration from airflow/config_templates/airflow_logging_settings.py.
Place it in a directory inside the Python import path PYTHONPATH. If you are using Python 2.7, ensuring that any __init__.py files exist so that it is importable.
Update the config by setting the path of REMOTE_BASE_LOG_FOLDER explicitly in the config. The REMOTE_BASE_LOG_FOLDER key is not used anymore.
Set the logging_config_class to the filename and dict. For example, if you place custom_logging_config.py on the base of your PYTHONPATH, you will need to set logging_config_class = custom_logging_config.LOGGING_CONFIG in your config as Airflow 1.8.

New Features

Dask Executor

A new DaskExecutor allows Airflow tasks to be run in Dask Distributed clusters.

Deprecated Features

These features are marked for deprecation. They may still work (and raise a DeprecationWarning), but are no longer supported and will be removed entirely in Airflow 2.0

If you're using the google_cloud_conn_id or dataproc_cluster argument names explicitly in contrib.operators.Dataproc{*}Operator(s), be sure to rename them to gcp_conn_id or cluster_name, respectively. We've renamed these arguments for consistency. (AIRFLOW-1323)
post_execute() hooks now take two arguments, context and result (AIRFLOW-886)

Previously, post_execute() only took one argument, context.
contrib.hooks.gcp_dataflow_hook.DataFlowHook starts to use --runner=DataflowRunner instead of DataflowPipelineRunner, which is removed from the package google-cloud-dataflow-0.6.0.
The pickle type for XCom messages has been replaced by json to prevent RCE attacks. Note that JSON serialization is stricter than pickling, so if you want to e.g. pass raw bytes through XCom you must encode them using an encoding like base64. By default pickling is still enabled until Airflow 2.0. To disable it set enable_xcom_pickling = False in your Airflow config.

Airflow 1.8.1

The Airflow package name was changed from airflow to apache-airflow during this release. You must uninstall a previously installed version of Airflow before installing 1.8.1.

Airflow 1.8

Database

The database schema needs to be upgraded. Make sure to shutdown Airflow and make a backup of your database. To upgrade the schema issue airflow upgradedb.

Upgrade systemd unit files

Systemd unit files have been updated. If you use systemd please make sure to update these.

Please note that the webserver does not detach properly, this will be fixed in a future version.

Tasks not starting although dependencies are met due to stricter pool checking

Airflow 1.7.1 has issues with being able to over subscribe to a pool, ie. more slots could be used than were available. This is fixed in Airflow 1.8.0, but due to past issue jobs may fail to start although their dependencies are met after an upgrade. To workaround either temporarily increase the amount of slots above the amount of queued tasks or use a new pool.

Less forgiving scheduler on dynamic start_date

Using a dynamic start_date (e.g. start_date = datetime.now()) is not considered a best practice. The 1.8.0 scheduler is less forgiving in this area. If you encounter DAGs not being scheduled you can try using a fixed start_date and renaming your DAG. The last step is required to make sure you start with a clean slate, otherwise the old schedule can interfere.

New and updated scheduler options

Please read through the new scheduler options, defaults have changed since 1.7.1.

child_process_log_directory

In order to increase the robustness of the scheduler, DAGS are now processed in their own process. Therefore each DAG has its own log file for the scheduler. These log files are placed in child_process_log_directory which defaults to <AIRFLOW_HOME>/scheduler/latest. You will need to make sure these log files are removed.

DAG logs or processor logs ignore and command line settings for log file locations.

run_duration

Previously the command line option num_runs was used to let the scheduler terminate after a certain amount of loops. This is now time bound and defaults to -1, which means run continuously. See also num_runs.

num_runs

Previously num_runs was used to let the scheduler terminate after a certain amount of loops. Now num_runs specifies the number of times to try to schedule each DAG file within run_duration time. Defaults to -1, which means try indefinitely. This is only available on the command line.

min_file_process_interval

After how much time should an updated DAG be picked up from the filesystem.

min_file_parsing_loop_time

CURRENTLY DISABLED DUE TO A BUG How many seconds to wait between file-parsing loops to prevent the logs from being spammed.

dag_dir_list_interval

The frequency with which the scheduler should relist the contents of the DAG directory. If while developing +dags, they are not being picked up, have a look at this number and decrease it when necessary.

catchup_by_default

By default the scheduler will fill any missing interval DAG Runs between the last execution date and the current date. This setting changes that behavior to only execute the latest interval. This can also be specified per DAG as catchup = False / True. Command line backfills will still work.

Faulty DAGs do not show an error in the Web UI

Due to changes in the way Airflow processes DAGs the Web UI does not show an error when processing a faulty DAG. To find processing errors go the child_process_log_directory which defaults to <AIRFLOW_HOME>/scheduler/latest.

New DAGs are paused by default

Previously, new DAGs would be scheduled immediately. To retain the old behavior, add this to airflow.cfg:

[core]
dags_are_paused_at_creation = False

Airflow Context variable are passed to Hive config if conf is specified

If you specify a hive conf to the run_cli command of the HiveHook, Airflow add some convenience variables to the config. In case you run a secure Hadoop setup it might be required to allow these variables by adjusting you hive configuration to add airflow\.ctx\..* to the regex of user-editable configuration properties. See the Hive docs on Configuration Properties for more info.

Google Cloud Operator and Hook alignment

All Google Cloud Operators and Hooks are aligned and use the same client library. Now you have a single connection type for all kinds of Google Cloud Operators.

If you experience problems connecting with your operator make sure you set the connection type "Google Cloud Platform".

Also the old P12 key file type is not supported anymore and only the new JSON key files are supported as a service account.

Deprecated Features

These features are marked for deprecation. They may still work (and raise a DeprecationWarning), but are no longer supported and will be removed entirely in Airflow 2.0

Hooks and operators must be imported from their respective submodules

airflow.operators.PigOperator is no longer supported; from airflow.operators.pig_operator import PigOperator is. (AIRFLOW-31, AIRFLOW-200)
Operators no longer accept arbitrary arguments

Previously, Operator.__init__() accepted any arguments (either positional *args or keyword **kwargs) without complaint. Now, invalid arguments will be rejected. (apache#1285)
The config value secure_mode will default to True which will disable some insecure endpoints/features

Known Issues

There is a report that the default of "-1" for num_runs creates an issue where errors are reported while parsing tasks. It was not confirmed, but a workaround was found by changing the default back to None.

To do this edit cli.py, find the following:

        'num_runs': Arg(
            ("-n", "--num_runs"),
            default=-1, type=int,
            help="Set the number of runs to execute before exiting"),

and change default=-1 to default=None. If you have this issue please report it on the mailing list.

Airflow 1.7.1.2

Changes to Configuration

Email configuration change

To continue using the default smtp email backend, change the email_backend line in your config file from:

[email]
email_backend = airflow.utils.send_email_smtp

to:

[email]
email_backend = airflow.utils.email.send_email_smtp

S3 configuration change

To continue using S3 logging, update your config file so:

s3_log_folder = s3://my-airflow-log-bucket/logs

becomes:

remote_base_log_folder = s3://my-airflow-log-bucket/logs
remote_log_conn_id = <your desired s3 connection>
