What you expected to happen:

It should retry, or at least trigger on_failure_callback to let me know it failed

How to reproduce it:

1. Delete a running worker pod then you’ll see: kubectl delete pods -n airflow airflow-worker-3 --force
2. or you can use AWS spotinstance or GCP preemptible instance, k8s’s node would be reclaimed by cloud service provider from time to time and result in this issue

Anything else we need to know:

How often does it occur: every time

[potiuk]

is there any timeline regarding when would this be released? I am using the official Docker images as the base, and couldn’t see a release candidate that might include this, but maybe I am looking at the wrong place.

Look at the “milestone” - for the issue and PR. It is scheduled for 2.1.3 which is coming shortly (basically when we fix all the issues which are visible in the milestone - likely release coming in this or next week.

We are also running into this issue. I believe this is a bug that was introduced in this PR: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/15172 meaning that 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 should be affected.

I believe the problematic code is this line: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/db6acd9e8a91e0eca9e12cace72edc57b2667d25/airflow/jobs/local_task_job.py#L82-L85 that sets task_instance state to State.FAILED.

Here is a test case that can be added in tests/jobs/test_local_task_job.py that fails and shows the incorrect behavior
