Bolke de Bruin commented on AIRFLOW-932: ---------------------------------------- verify_integrity in models.py is where you would like to look at. As mentioned it sets a state to REMOVED if a task instance does not have a corresponding task in a DAG. It is there for auditing and versioning reasons. Does it affect running anything? A changed DAG cannot have a dependency on a non existent task. > Backfills delete existing task instances and mark them as removed > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AIRFLOW-932 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-932 > Project: Apache Airflow > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: backfill > Reporter: Dan Davydov > Priority: Blocker > > I'm still investigating. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
