Airflow 1.10 - Scheduler Startup Fails

问题

I've just painfully installed Airflow 1.10 thanks to my previous post here. We have a single ec2-instance running, our queue is AWS Elastic Cache Redis, and our meta database is AWS RDS for PostgreSQL. Airflow works with this setup just fine when we are on Airflow version 1.9. But we are encountering an issue on Airflow version 1.10 when we go to start up the scheduler.

Note that the webserver (airflow webserver) and worker (airflow worker) are starting up just fine with no errors. The scheduler (airflow scheduler) even starts up just fine with no errors if we do not have any DAGs in the dags folder. But once we add any DAG into the dags folder and restart the scheduler we get this error.

Update:

We are using Python 3.6 and we keep seeing that the MySqlPython package is only for Python 2.x. I'm not sure if this is the issue or not. Does this mean Airflow 1.10 only works for Python 2.x? But we've already installed the mysqlclient package which apparently works with Python 3.x? This is very confusing what's going on. We don't even understand why Airflow needs MySQL if we are using PostgreSQL...

回答1:

To make the config of Airflow compatible with Celery, some properties have been renamed.

celeryd_concurrency -> worker_concurrency
celery_result_backend -> result_backend
celery_ssl_active -> ssl_active
celery_ssl_cert -> ssl_cert
celery_ssl_key -> ssl_key

Resulting in the same config parameters as Celery 4, with more transparency.

More updating see here. AIRFLOW UPDATING
