Is there a way to have

pyflyte backfill

ignore the cache? This would be similar to launching a workflow and selecting the advanced option "Overwrite cached outputs". I don't see this in the

pyflyte backfill

help page (BTW, the doc is blank currently) but maybe there is a setting I can include in my config? The alternative is for me to push a change that disables the cache for the specific tasks I want to ignore cache.

ya the doc seems to be down, we are figuring out the problem

Thanks for looking into it. I'd be happy to create an issue if that helps.

yes please do

Just getting back to this. I created this issue: https://github.com/flyteorg/flyte/issues/4917

@Dennis O'Brien we cannot commit to it right now.

Understood. My workaround has been to disable cache on tasks that I know will have restated data for the purpose of the backfill. It's not that bad because for most runs of the workflow, the cache is not used because the inputs change with each daily run. So disabling cache might really be what I want in general for these tasks.
