kenneth lam commented on AIRFLOW-1293:
--------------------------------------

the ability to generate the task name on the fly is important as a lot of the cases, you will want to "clone" a job to multiple copies with just parameter differences. Eg. processing of n files , ideally, i can generate n "clones" job with name like T1~files1 .. T1~filesN

> In the dag, set up two task T1 >> T2.
> while task id of T2 is not static as the task id is based on the ip address of the running host.
> As a result, airflow mark T2 as "Removed" and thus can't execute.
> Although the dependency graph is constructed correctly in the web admin page.
