Airflow - pause/unpause individual dagruns of the same DAG running in parallel

Question

We are currently evaluating airflow for a project. I was wondering if there is a way to stop/start individual dagruns while running a DAG multiple times in parallel. Pause/unpau

Answer 1

There's nothing "baked" into Airflow to support this but you could (ab)use the state of the DagRun by changing it to "failed" to pause and then back to "running" to resume; you won't be able to blanket unpause but for testing it should be workable.
