[GitHub] [airflow] Jaxing opened a new issue, #23776: Backfill failes due to removed ExternalTaskMarker

Jaxing opened a new issue, #23776:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/23776

   ### Apache Airflow version
   
   2.2.5
   
   ### What happened
   
   I tried to run a backfill on a dag but got
   ```
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/home/airflow/.local/bin/airflow", line 8, in <module>
       sys.exit(main())
     File "/home/airflow/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/airflow/__main__.py", line 48, in main
       args.func(args)
     File "/home/airflow/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/airflow/cli/cli_parser.py", line 48, in command
       return func(*args, **kwargs)
     File "/home/airflow/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/airflow/utils/cli.py", line 92, in wrapper
       return f(*args, **kwargs)
     File "/home/airflow/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/airflow/cli/commands/dag_command.py", line 102, in dag_backfill
       DAG.clear_dags(
     File "/home/airflow/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/airflow/models/dag.py", line 1914, in clear_dags
       tis = dag.clear(
     File "/home/airflow/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/airflow/utils/session.py", line 70, in wrapper
       return func(*args, session=session, **kwargs)
     File "/home/airflow/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/airflow/models/dag.py", line 1853, in clear
       tis = self._get_task_instances(
     File "/home/airflow/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/airflow/models/dag.py", line 1553, in _get_task_instances
       raise AirflowException(f"Could not find dag {tii.dag_id}")
   airflow.exceptions.AirflowException: Could not find dag bigquery-processed-data
   ```
   
   Where `bigquery-processed-data` is an old dag that the current dag previously had a ExternalTaskMarker to.
   
   
   ### What you think should happen instead
   
   I would expect it to ignore the old configuration of this dag and only use the current.
   
   ### How to reproduce
   
   Not sure.
   Possibly:
   1. Create two dags A and B where A has an external task marker to B and B has a external task sensor to A.
   2. Run once. 
   3. Remove dag B and the external task marker.
   4. Try to backfill A

   Indeed that's an interesting side-effect. We do not have DAG versioning implemented yet https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/AIP-36+DAG+Versioning so those kind of problems are expected. As described in https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/index.html
   
   >  Workflows are expected to be mostly static or slowly changing. You can think of the structure of the tasks in your workflow as slightly more dynamic than a database structure would be. Airflow workflows are expected to look similar from a run to the next, this allows for clarity around unit of work and continuity.
   
   We have currently no mechanisms to track version changes for DAGs, so if you do such structural changes, you might expect not only backfill to not work but also UI displays to be misleading. That's what DAG versioning (hopefully we will approve and start implementing on it soon) should address.
   
   Currently, the recommendation is to copy DAGs to another dag in case of structural changes like that.
