Hi all, in the case that a task cache may take a long time to load, what are some possible ways to diagnose the issue? I'm trying to investigate why a task within a subworkflow took close to an hour to load from cache. I understand sometime can be due to image pulling which is normal, but an hour seems excessive, and its only a transient issue.
t
could you elaborate a bit please? what do you mean by cache?
w
I'm referring to the task output cache -
@task(cache=True, cache_version="x")
. If a tasks output is cached from a prior execution, and on re-run of the workflow which contains the cached task, then what could cause those outputs to take a long time to reload? Basically a user of ours had re-run an execution and with task caching turned on, the task took an hour load from cache.
t
that doesn’t sound… possible. how are you getting the times?
you’d think the network transaction would time out.
is it a very large output?

so something like this periodically happens, and I'm not sure if I can always attribute this to network or very large outputs. Have you observed anything like this happening before?
t
i have not seen this before.
