## Overview

\<<\<<\<<< before updating
This library provides an operator called `HighAvailabilityOperator`, which inherits from `PythonSensor` and runs a user-provided `python_callable`.
The return value can trigger the following actions:

| Return              | Result                                       | Current DAGrun End State |
| :------------------ | :------------------------------------------- | :----------------------- |
| `(PASS, RETRIGGER)` | Retrigger the same DAG to run again          | `pass`                   |
| `(PASS, STOP)`      | Finish the DAG, until its next scheduled run | `pass`                   |
| `(FAIL, RETRIGGER)` | Retrigger the same DAG to run again          | `fail`                   |
| `(FAIL, STOP)`      | Finish the DAG, until its next scheduled run | `fail`                   |
| `(*, CONTINUE)`     | Continue to run the Sensor                   | N/A                      |

### Limiters

Arguments to `HighAvailabilityOperator` can be used to configure finishing behavior outside of the callable:

- `runtime`: A `timedelta` or `int` (seconds). The operator will turn off cleanly after `dag.start_date + runtime` (`(PASS, STOP)`)
- `endtime`: A `time` or `str` (isoformat time). The operator will turn off cleanly after `today + endtime` (`(PASS, STOP)`)
- `maxretrigger`: An integer. The operator will turn off after `maxretrigger` retriggers (`(<previous status, STOP)`)

> [!NOTE]
> These can be configured as arguments to `HighAvailabilityOperator`, and will be automatically included as [DAG Params](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/core-concepts/params.html). This also allows them to be overridden by the DAG Config during a manual run. There is also a `force-run` option when running the DAG manually, which will cause the `HighAvailabilityOperator` to ignore the above 3 limiters.

### Example - Always On

Consider the following DAG:

```python
with DAG(
    dag_id="test-high-availability",
    description="Test HA Operator",
    schedule=timedelta(days=1),
    start_date=datetime(2024, 1, 1),
    catchup=False,
):
    ha = HighAvailabilityOperator(
        task_id="ha",
        timeout=30,
        poke_interval=5,
        python_callable=lambda **kwargs: choice(
            (
                (Result.PASS, Action.CONTINUE),
                (Result.PASS, Action.RETRIGGER),
                (Result.PASS, Action.STOP),
                (Result.FAIL, Action.CONTINUE),
                (Result.FAIL, Action.RETRIGGER),
                (Result.FAIL, Action.STOP),
            )
        ),
    )
    
    pre = PythonOperator(task_id="pre", python_callable=lambda **kwargs: "test")
    pre >> ha
    
    retrigger_fail = PythonOperator(task_id="retrigger_fail", python_callable=lambda **kwargs: "test")
    ha.retrigger_fail >> retrigger_fail

    stop_fail = PythonOperator(task_id="stop_fail", python_callable=lambda **kwargs: fail_, trigger_rule="all_failed")
    ha.stop_fail >> stop_fail
    
    retrigger_pass = PythonOperator(task_id="retrigger_pass", python_callable=lambda **kwargs: "test")
    ha.retrigger_pass >> retrigger_pass

    stop_pass = PythonOperator(task_id="stop_pass", python_callable=lambda **kwargs: "test")
    ha.stop_pass >> stop_pass
```

This produces a DAG with the following topology:

This DAG exhibits cool behavior.
If the check returns `CONTINUE`, the DAG will continue to run the sensor.
If the check returns `RETRIGGER` or the interval elapses, the DAG will re-trigger itself and finish.
If the check returns `STOP`, the DAG will finish and not retrigger itself.
If the check returns `PASS`, the current DAG run will end in a successful state.
If the check returns `FAIL`, the current DAG run will end in a failed state.

This allows the one to build "always-on" DAGs without having individual long blocking tasks.

This library is used to build [airflow-supervisor](https://github.com/airflow-laminar/airflow-supervisor), which uses [supervisor](http://supervisord.org) as a process-monitor while checking and restarting jobs via `airflow-ha`.

### Example - Recursive

You can also use this library to build recursive DAGs - or "Cyclic DAGs", despite the oxymoronic name.

The following code makes a DAG that triggers itself with some decrementing counter, starting with value 3:

```python

with DAG(
    dag_id="test-ha-counter",
    description="Test HA Countdown",
    schedule=timedelta(days=1),
    start_date=datetime(2024, 1, 1),
    catchup=False,
):
    
    def _get_count(**kwargs):
        # The default is 3
        return kwargs['dag_run'].conf.get('counter', 3) - 1

    get_count = PythonOperator(task_id="get-count", python_callable=_get_count)

    def _keep_counting(**kwargs):
        count = kwargs["task_instance"].xcom_pull(key="return_value", task_ids="get-count")
        return (Result.PASS, Action.RETRIGGER) if count > 0 else (Result.PASS, Action.STOP) if count == 0 else (Result.FAIL, Action.STOP)

    keep_counting = HighAvailabilityOperator(
        task_id="ha",
        timeout=30,
        poke_interval=5,
        python_callable=_keep_counting,
        pass_trigger_kwargs={"conf": '''{"counter": {{ ti.xcom_pull(key="return_value", task_ids="get-count") }}}'''},
    )

    get_count >> keep_counting
```
