@Marvin What is the correct use of the
allow_failure
annotation?
m
It seems that there isn't a direct reference to an
allow_failure
annotation in the Prefect 3.x documentation or related resources. This might imply that such a feature is either not available or not documented under that name. However, in Prefect, handling task failures gracefully can often be managed through retries and state management. You might want to look into how Prefect handles task retries and state transitions to manage failures effectively. If you're trying to achieve failure tolerance or specific error handling, consider using Prefect's retry policies or custom state handlers. For more information on handling task failures, you can explore the task engine in the Prefect source code here: task_engine.py. If you have a different context in mind for
allow_failure
, feel free to provide more details!
