Is Airflow planning on removing the Operator API to use TaskFlow instead?

Hi,

I'm in the process of modernizing some repos that all use Operators instead of the decorators (like @task.bash) that seem recommended.

Will the TaskFlow API become the main way to interact with Airflow and should I foresee upgrading older DAGs to the new API?

Thanks

No.. both interfaces are going to stay. They serve different purposes and have different intended users

[NF-ada]

Thanks for the clarification! Maybe I missed it but what would you say is the difference or logic for using one or the other?

[potiuk]

Not logic. Use.

they have different intended users

Classic operators is for user who prefer more "black-box" and predefined "working operators" put together in a DAG. Task flow is for the users who prefer to write more custom python code.
