Say I have a flow that processes data and publishes a manual computer vision annotation job to an annotation server - how might I schedule a flow to poll the annotation job to publish some information once the job has been completed? It may take hours, days or maybe a week for this to finish, so polling every 4 hours or something may make sense. Would this be an application for

pause_flow_run

using the

reschedule

argument? Or is there another way I can create a

cron

like schedule for a parameterized flow to run until it successfully completes?

If i'm understanding right, would it work for your use case to kick off another flow run to publish the information once your original flow run completes? This way you wouldn't need to poll at all

That's correct, but I don't really know when the annotation job will be ready to pull down. So something like

run_deployment

, maybe I could set retries to a large number and poll the status until it is completed that way?

Ah got it, so theres kind of a hidden middle step? • flow1 completes • annotation job (not a flow) happens in some indeterminate amount of time • flow2 needs to run

Right, think of some middle blob of time that is on the scale of human work (days/week) and wrangling a web hook out of the annotation engine would be quite a bit of effort.
