Why don't you tell us how you really feel about MySQL? I'm sensing mixed feelings here. ________________________________ From: /dev /local/ca <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2020 7:57 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Why am I seeing references to MySQL?
I am just getting started with Airflow. It's been a real pain in the ass to configured, as the documentation is confusing and misleading. --- Question: Why are there references to MySQL in the airflow.cfg? $grep mysql airflow.cfg broker_url = sqla+mysql://airflow:airflow@localhost:3306/airflow result_backend = db+mysql://airflow:airflow@localhost:3306/airflow What are these two settings? Is it safe to comment them out? What are they for? I don't have MySQL installed on localhost. Was this a requirement that was missed in the documentation? --- We don't use MySQL in our organization and never will, because: 1. It's not an open source database 2. it's historical hostility and bad acts against open source 3. it's not a relational database, or at best, it's a half ass relational database where to be truly relational you have to bend over backwards in configuration and code to get it to work relationally --- Can someone please reach the dev team to take this crap out? --- What am I supposed to do with these settings?
