- XCom means cross-communication, where one task can return values to be consumed by another task:
|
||||
- Sample code above has two tasks, to demo how XCom works. For simple DAG, one task is enough.
|

- Do not return large data between task through XCom, the pod may fail to start. Store resulting data in object storage.

- Do not return large data between task through XCom, the pod may fail to start. Store resulting data in object storage.
|
||||
- Since Airflow is configured to use KubernetesExecutor, each tasks in a DAG will be executed on a new pod. In order to reduce impact of pods startup overhead:
|
||||
- Design your DAGs with fewer tasks.
|
||||
- Avoid scheduling DAGs too frequently, set at least 5 minutes apart.
