matf/stop-overwriting-state-on-empty-state

closes #52

• if the state message is empty (that is, no state message was processed) then do not attempt to write the state as this can overwrite state in the event a tap produces no records (or no state message)

Hello there,

Thanks for the job.
I spotted the same behavior, and I use the latest released version with commit sha 3952428bb043d1db80250e1f11cbcad9c8b18ecd

When it runs without data coming from extractors, it write into the stage empty stage, which make a full run next time.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Hi, I have encoutered the same behavior as @firehist.

Just wanted to know if it's intended behavior (that should be handled with the right config) or an oversight ?

Thanks in advance for your work 🙏
