configuring-airflow-language-sdks

configuring-airflow-language-sdks is a skill for Claude Code from astronomer/agents. It costs 155 tokens per session (2,289 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for making Apache Airflow run tasks written with native language SDKs such as Java or Go. It connects task queues to coordinators, which start the required native process on Airflow workers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to register coordinators, map queues to them, configure coordinator options, and prepare Airflow workers for native-language tasks.
Why use it?
It removes the configuration guesswork around routing tasks and ensuring workers have the required runtime or compiled artifact.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

configuring-airflow-language-sdks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Configuring Airflow for Language SDKs

To run language SDK tasks, Airflow needs to know two things: which coordinator launches the native subprocess, and which queue routes to that coordinator. The mechanism is identical across every language SDK — only each coordinator's classpath and kwargs differ. This skill documents the shared wiring once, then the per-coordinator options. It is platform-neutral: the same settings apply on open-source Airflow and on managed platforms like Astro.

Experimental. The language SDKs are in preview; configuration keys may change.

For the task code, see authoring-language-sdk-tasks (and the per-language authoring skill, e.g. authoring-java-sdk-tasks, authoring-go-sdk-tasks). For building and shipping the artifact, see the per-language deploy skill (e.g. deploying-java-sdk-bundles, deploying-go-sdk-bundles).


Prerequisites on the worker

  • The runtime or artifact the SDK needs must be present on the worker nodes, because the coordinator spawns a native subprocess per task instance. The exact requirement is per-SDK — see Per-coordinator options (the Java SDK needs a JRE 17+; the Go SDK needs no language runtime — the bundle is a self-contained native executable, but it must be built for the worker's OS/arch).
  • The compiled/native artifact(s) must be reachable on the worker. See the per-language deploy skill.
  • The coordinators ship with the Airflow Task SDK (apache-airflow-task-sdk, installed with Airflow). No extra Python package is required.

The two settings

Both live in the [sdk] configuration section and apply to every language SDK:

  1. coordinators — a JSON object mapping a coordinator name you choose to its implementation (classpath) and constructor kwargs.
  2. queue_to_coordinator — a JSON object mapping a task queue to a coordinator name.

A task whose stub sets queue="..." is handed to the named coordinator, which launches the native subprocess. The coordinator name is arbitrary — it just has to be the same string in both settings. The queue name must match the queue= set on the Python @task.stub.
