Elyra now part of ODH, but Airflow optional support needs to be there about opendatahub-community HOT 2 OPEN

So it would be bad if the pipeline editor and runtime support for Airflow were removed.

This statement should be clarified to show that runtime support for Airflow was not removed from the Elyra package in the ODH Elyra notebook images that are built and supported as part of ODH Core. We only restrict the Elyra PipelinesProcessor to kfp (Data Science Pipelines) since that is what ODH supports.

There is no official support for Airflow in ODH as the integration is currently an ODH Contrib component (https://github.com/opendatahub-io-contrib/airflow-on-openshift) with no guarantee that the deployment works.

At least allow for optionally enabling it via Configmap or ENV variable, based on this

Since ODH does not officially support Airflow, you can still build and import a custom notebook image into ODH Dashboard that has Airflow pipelines processor enabled. Based on the offline comment by @harshad16, you can build an Elyra notebook image with the Airflow pipelines processor by modifying jupyter_elyra_config.py and building the notebook

If the Elyra Airflow notebook image works with the deployment of airflow-on-openshift in odh-contrib then you could submit a PR for review to
odh-contrib/workbench-images

@LaVLaS @harshad16 Airflow itself is no problem, I for now started talking to the Red Hat folks on what makes it run as a whole successfully (never use the mucked up postgres image that comes with it, use a decent way of running postgres like crunchy postgres via OLM) and some more.
