#4917 [Core feature] Enable pyflyte backfill to ignore cache Issue created by dennisobrien Motivation: Why do you think this is important? When launching a workflow from the web UI, it is possible to select the advanced option "Overwrite cached outputs" in order to have that run ignore any cached values that may be available. This functionality is not available to the

pyflyte backfill

command. Ideally when running a backfill, it would be possible to ignore cache for all executions in that backfill. Backfills are sometimes necessary when upstream data had a data quality issue which was later fixed, requiring downstream jobs to re-run on the restated data. Goal: What should the final outcome look like, ideally? The

pyflyte backfill

command should have a flag named something like

--ignore-cache

or

--overwrite-cached-outputs

that behaves similar to the web UI when selecting "Overwrite cached outputs". Describe alternatives you've considered I don't know of simple alternatives to running a backfill from the command line that has an option to overwrite the cache.
