per-execution interruptible flag not piped through via flytekit

[tblom]

Motivation: Why do you think this is important?

The interruptible flag for an execution is part of an ExecutionSpec, but there is no way to set this on a per-execution basis via flytekit. See the code for ExecutionSpec.interruptible.

I would like to specify this value at runtime, but a present there appears to be no way to do this short of writing multiple workflows.

Goal: What should the final outcome look like, ideally?

I should be able to specify interruptible on a per-execution basis, just like I can specify overwrite_cache (another example of a value that is part of an ExecutionSpec).

This could be done, e.g., with an interruptible argument to FlyteRemote.execute(). (again, just like overwrite_cache)

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've considered writing alternate workflows, in which the @workflow or @dynamic specifies interruptible as either True or False, and calling the appropriate one at runtime to create either an interruptible workflow or one that is not.

The issue you're describing about setting the interruptible flag per execution via Flytekit is not directly addressed in the provided data sources. However, there is a related discussion in this GitHub issue about setting interruptible at workflow start time, which suggests a similar need for dynamic configuration of execution parameters. This indicates a recognized need for more flexible execution settings in Flyte, but does not provide a solution for setting them through Flytekit at runtime.

Would you like more detail on the current capabilities related to the interruptible flag as per the existing data sources?

Note that this issue talked about very much the same thing -- but the solution was to add this per-execution flag to the web form available on the Flyte Console UI. So there, you can set the interruptible flag, as well as the overwrite_cache flag. But via flytekit, you can only set overwrite_cache

@eapolinario Any thoughts about when this may get attention?
