AirFlow: How to set large number of external dependencies in one line?










0















I am reading this question trying to implement dependencies on tasks of other DAGs. In this example, dependency is written as:



ExternalTaskSensor(
task_id='wait_for_the_first_task_to_be_completed',
external_dag_id='a',
external_task_id='first_task',
dag=dag) >>


In my data warehouse, one table may depends on hundreds of tasks. Using this format, it will generate 2*number of dependencies lines of codes. This is really unacceptable, is there any better choice?



For instance, in Azkaban, I can write multi dependencies like this:



dependencies = dag1.task1, dag2.task4, dag2.task5, DAG3.task2, etc...


Any help is appreciated.

          You can create your sensors in a loop and set dependencies within it. I think it's cleaner, but I'm not sure if that meets your requirement regarding amount of code as number of dependencies increase.



          Example:



          dependencies = [('dag1', 'task1'), ('dag2', 'task4'), ('dag2', 'task5'), ('dag3', 'task2')]

          other_task = PythonOperator(...)

          for dag_id, task_id in dependencies:
          sensor = ExternalTaskSensor(
          task_id='wait_for_0.1'.format(dag_id, task_id),
          external_dag_id=dag_id,
          external_task_id=task_id,
          dag=dag)
          sensor >> other_task
