Why would you define a metadata source that didn't exist? The more common
case is avoiding failure due to the file being invalid for whatever reason.

They have a failFast setting that can be disabled. I can't recall the
exact spelling or wording, should be in the docs. In which case I'd ask
what you searched on so that I can fix the docs to make it more findable.
