I have a staging question. I have a metadata file that I read out of and do some mapping. I then run an app on this mapping. However some of the metadata is false occasionally. Because of this my app doesn't create the outfile and swift errors because there is no outfile to stage out. How do I tell swift that if there is no outfile, don't worry about staging out? </p>
