Question

Hi folks is it possible to restart a flow run but with a different context or run config

Marwan Sarieddine · Answer

The use case is we specify our resource requirements memory and cpu via the flow s context Our flow run failed due to OOM error so would like to re run it but supply it with more resources by updating our context

Hey < Marwan Sarieddine> I don t think so because restarts will use the same context Maybe you could use caching though to preserve the old run results when you kick off a new flow run

Marwan Sarieddine · Answer

Hi < Kevin Kho> thank you for your quick response I see yes having caching enabled would have resolved this I suppose

Marwan Sarieddine · Answer

So there is no way to run a flow with an old flow run s results without caching right

Marwan Sarieddine · Answer

it sort of places a bit of a constraint i e if the cache gets invalidated one can t really do much to recover a failure

Kevin Kho · Answer

You can make a temporary flow run and set the `target` for the file so that it would check for the existence of that file and then load the data
