what are the different types life_cycle_state in databricks for job cluster

[shreyassharmabh]

We are trying to get cluster life_cycle_state using API and we are able to get various values as below
RUNNING
PENDING
TERMINATED
INTERNAL_ERROR

Is there any other values apart from above values it would be a great help.

Hi @shreyassharmabh, Based on the provided information, the possible values for the life_cycle_state of a cluster are:- 

• PENDING: The run has been triggered, and the cluster and execution context are being prepared
•  RUNNING: The task of this run is being executed.
• TERMINATING: The task of this run has been completed, and the cluster and execution context are being cleaned up.
• TERMINATED: The task of this run has been completed, and the cluster and execution context have been cleaned up. This state is terminal.
• SKIPPED: This run was aborted because a previous run of the same job was already active. This state is terminal.
•  INTERNAL_ERROR: An exceptional state that indicates a failure in the Jobs service, such as network failure over a long period. If a run on a new cluster ends in the INTERNAL_ERROR state, the Jobs service terminates the cluster as soon as possible. This state is terminal.
• Therefore, there are no other values apart from the ones mentioned above.
