Question

Just our of curiosity is the ability to perform a pipeline backfill from the UI on the roadmap Right now it looks like it s only executable from the CLI <https docs dagster io docs learn guides partitioning backfill>

Hi < John Mav> It s not on our immediate roadmap would your use case mainly be re running a partitioned schedule across all partitions

John Mav · Answer

Yeah that s the main use case I also have some semi technical users where if they had to manually do a backfill it would just be easier with a button click

prha · Answer

I see but they wouldn t need to customize the config on a per partition basis aside from the function provided to the schedule definition

prha · Answer

I think that s the main complexity around providing a complete backfill via UI solution

prha · Answer

that and how to handle throttle the batch of requests

prha · Answer

We ve informally been pointing people to this example backfill schedule <https dagster phacility com source dagster browse master examples dagster examples schedules py$68>

prha · Answer

This schedule runs every minute looking for partitions that do not have successful runs and kicks off a run for it

prha · Answer

So it s kind of a continuous backfill schedule that you can turn on off via the UI

prha · Answer

It s just not customizable to every schedule confused

Ah that example is helpful slightly smiling face Thanks < prha>
