########## File path: UPDATING.md ########## @@ -61,6 +61,29 @@ https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation --> +### 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 + +```ini +[core] +executor = my_plguin.MyCustomExecutor Review comment: More importantly for updating -- did we ever publish executors-via- plugin to 1.10 release, if not then these updating instructions don't make sense. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
