Description

If a task fails, it currently fails the whole query. It would be good to support some class of retries. Here's some ideas:

  • retry tasks that have not emitted a row yet (ex. if a task is rejected due to load balancer)
  • retry leaf tasks only (ex. so the retry only applies to an isolated part of the plan)

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Trace how task errors currently fail a query, then compare the proposed retry scopes: tasks that have not emitted a row and leaf tasks only. Done means an agreed retry design is implemented with coverage for both cases and the whole-query failure behavior remains defined.
