Scheduling jobs with Airflow result in each task running multiple jobs.

Hey everyone, I'm experiementing with running containerized pyspark jobs in Databricks, and orchestrating them with airflow. I am however, encountering an issue here. When I trigger an airflow DAG, and I look at the logs, I see that airflow is spinning up multiple jobs in its first try.

It's really strange. Attached a screenshot - in this instance, I need the job to run only once, but here 3 jobs are being run.

Wanted to know if this has been encountered before and any fixes, and will send cluster and pool config details upon request.

That's weird behaviour. Can you please share the sample of an Airflow code?

Thanks Daniel. Sure thing.

Hi @Tacuma Solomon​ , 3 jobs with the same config? or 3 job runs?

Both, I guess? Yes, all jobs share the same config - the question I have is why in the same airflow task log, there are 3 jobs runs. I'm hoping that there's something in the configs and may give me some kind of clue.
