A task in the context of airflow is the basic unit of execution. They are arranged into [[Airflow Dags]] and then have upstream and downstream dependencies set between them in order to express the order in which they should be run.
|
||||
|
||||
There are three kinds of tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Operators: they are predefined task templates that you can string together quickly.
|
||||
2. Sensors: special subclass of operators, which are entirely about waiting for an external event to happen.
|
||||
3. A Taskflow-decorated @task, which is a custom python function packaged as a task.
