What are retries and retry_delay in Airflow tasks?

Task-level retry parameters control behavior after a task failure:

• retries — number of times Airflow will retry the task before marking it as failed. Default is 0.
• retry_delay — how long to wait between retries (a timedelta object).
• retry_exponential_backoff — if True, doubles the wait time after each retry.
• max_retry_delay — caps the maximum wait time when exponential backoff is enabled.

from datetime import timedelta

t = PythonOperator(
    task_id='resilient_task',
    python_callable=my_func,
    retries=3,
    retry_delay=timedelta(minutes=5),
    retry_exponential_backoff=True
)
