Ash Berlin-Taylor commented on AIRFLOW-63: ------------------------------------------ Possibly, though if the scheduler process is killed hard (oom, segfault etc) there still may be cases where the job remains running. So I think I'd say "not quite yet" and this is still possibly an issue (at least not fixed by my PR) > Dangling Running Jobs > --------------------- > > Key: AIRFLOW-63 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-63 > Project: Apache Airflow > Issue Type: Bug > Components: scheduler > Affects Versions: 1.7.0 > Environment: mac os X with local executor > Reporter: Giacomo Tagliabe > Priority: Minor > > It seems that if the scheduler is killed unexpectedly, the SchedulerJob > remains marked as running. Same thing applies to LocalTaskJob: if a job is > running when the scheduler dies, the job remains marked as running forever. > I'd expect `kill_zombies` to mark the job with an old heartbeat as not > running, but it seems it only marks the related task instances. This to me > seems like a bug, I also fail to see the piece of code that is supposed to > do that, which leads me to think that this is not handled at all. I don't > think there is anything really critical about having stale jobs marked as > running, but they definitely is confusing to see -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
