Currently, all outputs of the data pipeline are written to the output.staging_path specified in pipeline_config.ini.

[output]
# Path for intermediate Hail files.
staging_path = gs://exome-results-browsers/data/200911

Thus, preserving older versions of the combined Hail table requires changing the staging path setting every time data is updated. This in turn leads to requiring multiple copies of gene models and individual dataset files.

Instead, gene models could be output separately, individual dataset Hail tables written to staging path, and combined Hail tables written to timestamped paths. This way, updating one dataset would require running prepare_dataset only on that one dataset and then generating a new combined Hail table.
