[jira] [Created] (AIRFLOW-1598) Add Ability to Provide schedule_interval Argument For Backfill in CLI

Andy Cooper created AIRFLOW-1598:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Add Ability to Provide schedule_interval Argument For Backfill in CLI
                 Key: AIRFLOW-1598
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1598
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Andy Cooper
            Priority: Minor


When using Airflow for backfilling large ETL DAGs that will run @hourly it is not desirable to have the backfill also happen @hourly.

For example, when backfilling 5 years worth of data it may be more performant to batch up the past 5 years into @monthly DagRuns as opposed to significantly more @hourly DagRuns.

Please provide a feature to pass schedule_interval into the backfill CLI so that it overrides the DAGs schedule_interval for the backfill only then using the DAG definition files schedule_interval moving forward.
