Run Requests

class dagster.RunRequest(run_key=None, run_config=None, tags=None, job_name=None, asset_selection=None)[source]

Represents all the information required to launch a single run. Must be returned by a SensorDefinition or ScheduleDefinition’s evaluation function for a run to be launched.

To build a run request for a particular partitition, use run_request_for_partition().

run_key

A string key to identify this launched run. For sensors, ensures that only one run is created per run key across all sensor evaluations. For schedules, ensures that one run is created per tick, across failure recoveries. Passing in a None value means that a run will always be launched per evaluation.

Type:

Optional[str]

run_config

The config that parameterizes the run execution to be launched, as a dict.

Type:

Optional[Dict]

tags

A dictionary of tags (string key-value pairs) to attach to the launched run.

Type:

Optional[Dict[str, str]]

job_name

(Experimental) The name of the job this run request will launch. Required for sensors that target multiple jobs.

Type:

Optional[str]

A sequence of AssetKeys that should be launched with this run.

Type:

Optional[Sequence[AssetKey]]

class dagster.SkipReason(skip_message=None)[source]

Represents a skipped evaluation, where no runs are requested. May contain a message to indicate why no runs were requested.

skip_message

A message displayed in dagit for why this evaluation resulted in no requested runs.

Example:

from dagster import schedule, ScheduleEvaluationContext

@schedule
def the_schedule(context: ScheduleEvaluationContext):
    ...
dagster.build_schedule_context(instance=None, scheduled_execution_time=None)[source]

Builds schedule execution context using the provided parameters.

The instance provided to build_schedule_context must be persistent; DagsterInstance.ephemeral() will result in an error.

Parameters:
  • instance (Optional[DagsterInstance]) – The dagster instance configured to run the schedule.

  • scheduled_execution_time (datetime) – The time in which the execution was scheduled to happen. May differ slightly from both the actual execution time and the time at which the run config is computed.

Examples

context = build_schedule_context(instance)
daily_schedule.evaluate_tick(context)
dagster._core.scheduler.DagsterDaemonScheduler Scheduler[source]

Config Schema:
max_catchup_runs (dagster.IntSource, optional):

For partitioned schedules, controls the maximum number of past partitions for each schedule that will be considered when looking for missing runs . Generally this parameter will only come into play if the scheduler falls behind or launches after experiencing downtime. This parameter will not be checked for schedules without partition sets (for example, schedules created using the @schedule decorator) - only the most recent execution time will be considered for those schedules.

Note that no matter what this value is, the scheduler will never launch a run from a time before the schedule was turned on (even if the start_date on the schedule is earlier) - if you want to launch runs for earlier partitions, launch a backfill.

Default Value: 5

max_tick_retries (dagster.IntSource, optional):

For each schedule tick that raises an error, how many times to retry that tick

Default Value: 0

Default scheduler implementation that submits runs from the dagster-daemon long-lived process. Periodically checks each running schedule for execution times that don’t have runs yet and launches them.

Fetches the most recent materialization event record for each asset in asset_keys. Only fetches events after the latest consumed event ID for the given asset key.

Parameters:

asset_keys (Optional[Sequence[AssetKey]]) – list of asset keys to fetch events for. If not specified, the latest materialization will be fetched for all assets the multi_asset_sensor monitors.

Returns: Mapping of AssetKey to EventLogRecord where the EventLogRecord is the latest

materialization event for the asset. If there is no materialization event for the asset, the value in the mapping will be None.

latest_materialization_records_by_partition(asset_key, after_cursor_partition=False)[source]

Given an asset, returns a mapping of partition key to the latest materialization event for that partition. Fetches only materializations that have not been marked as “consumed” via a call to advance_cursor.

Parameters:
  • asset_key (AssetKey) – The asset to fetch events for.

  • after_cursor_partition (Optional[bool]) – If True, only materializations with partitions after the cursor’s current partition will be returned. By default, set to False.

Returns:

Mapping of AssetKey to a mapping of partitions to EventLogRecords where the EventLogRecord is the most recent materialization event for the partition. The mapping preserves the order that the materializations occurred.

Return type:

Mapping[str, EventLogRecord]

Example

@asset(partitions_def=DailyPartitionsDefinition("2022-07-01"))
def july_asset():
    return 1

@multi_asset_sensor(asset_keys=[july_asset.key])
def my_sensor(context):
    context.latest_materialization_records_by_partition(july_asset.key)

# After materializing july_asset for 2022-07-05, latest_materialization_by_partition
# returns {"2022-07-05": EventLogRecord(...)}
latest_materialization_records_by_partition_and_asset()[source]

Finds the most recent unconsumed materialization for each partition for each asset monitored by the sensor. Aggregates all materializations into a mapping of partition key to a mapping of asset key to the materialization event for that partition.

For example, if the sensor monitors two partitioned assets A and B that are materialized for partition_x after the cursor, this function returns:

{
    "partition_x": {asset_a.key: EventLogRecord(...), asset_b.key: EventLogRecord(...)}
}

This method can only be called when all monitored assets are partitioned and share the same partition definition.

materialization_records_for_key(asset_key, limit)[source]

Fetches asset materialization event records for asset_key, with the earliest event first.

Only fetches events after the latest consumed event ID for the given asset key.

Parameters:
  • asset_key (AssetKey) – The asset to fetch materialization events for

  • limit (int) – The number of events to fetch

dagster.build_asset_reconciliation_sensor(asset_selection, name='asset_reconciliation_sensor', minimum_interval_seconds=None, description=None, default_status=DefaultSensorStatus.STOPPED, run_tags=None)[source]

Constructs a sensor that will monitor the provided assets and launch materializations to “reconcile” them.

An asset is considered “unreconciled” if any of: - This sensor has never tried to materialize it and it has never been materialized. - Any of its parents have been materialized more recently than it has. - Any of its parents are unreconciled.

The sensor won’t try to reconcile any assets before their parents are reconciled.

Parameters:
  • asset_selection (AssetSelection) – The group of assets you want to keep up-to-date

  • name (str) – The name to give the sensor.

  • minimum_interval_seconds (Optional[int]) – The minimum amount of time that should elapse between sensor invocations.

  • description (Optional[str]) – A description for the sensor.

  • default_status (DefaultSensorStatus) – Whether the sensor starts as running or not. The default status can be overridden from Dagit or via the GraphQL API.

Example

If you have the following asset graph:

a       b       c
 \     / \     /
    d       e
     \     /
        f

and create the sensor:

build_asset_reconciliation_sensor(
    AssetSelection.assets(d, e, f),
    name="my_reconciliation_sensor",
)
You will observe the following behavior:
  • If a, b, and c are all materialized, then on the next sensor tick, the sensor will see that d and e can be materialized. Since d and e will be materialized, f can also be materialized. The sensor will kick off a run that will materialize d, e, and f.

  • If, on the next sensor tick, none of a, b, and c have been materialized again, the sensor will not launch a run.

  • If, before the next sensor tick, just asset a and b have been materialized, the sensor will launch a run to materialize d, e, and f, because they’re downstream of a and b. Even though c hasn’t been materialized, the downstream assets can still be updated, because c is still considered “reconciled”.
