Question

it s a LOT of partitions hourly back to 2002 and the main Partitions screen takes a little longer than usual which is understandable but I feel like launching shouldn t be that big a deal

Hey Charlie My impression is that backfills aren t actually currently supported in branch deployments but it seems that the UI isn t accurately reflecting that for asset backfills Will double check what s going on here and report back but have you been able to run a backfill before in this branch deployment

Charlie Bini · Answer

I ll confirm but i thought i was able to backfill a single partiton not the whole thing

Charlie Bini · Answer

Makes sense if it s disabled in branch deployments If so I ll have to find a way to test it on prod though

daniel · Answer

I checked and you re correct that single runs should work

daniel · Answer

what you re describing happens reliably when you try

daniel · Answer

The freezing up and not launching

Charlie Bini · Answer

yeah I think when I had yearly partitions launching a single run would work fine but with hourly it always freezes

daniel · Answer

My guess is that it s getting overwhelmed by the number of partitions at play

daniel · Answer

but will confirm and see if we can reproduce

Charlie Bini · Answer

< daniel> confirming that this is also happening on my prod deployment

Charlie Bini · Answer

is there a way that I can use monthly for historical partitions and then hourly moving forward

Charlie Bini · Answer

launches fine when I change the partition to daily

Charlie Bini · Answer

thinking the run launcher might be doing a bunch of unnecessary work I would think that selecting a single partition would only submit a single run
