Force Jekyll to stop building using tags?

Is it possible to forcefully stop Jekyll from building the site using tags, if certain condition is unset? Say, if I want to make sure some variable is set properly before Jekyll can build the site, I'd hope to use something like:

{% unless site.setting.size > 0 %}
  {% error ......... %}
{% endunless %}

Is such maneuver possible, or some sort of alternative method already exists?

You can use a hook plugin.

Here is an example for a file that can be named _plugins/hook_site_after_init.rb.

Jekyll::Hooks.register :site, :after_init do |site|
  puts "Firing site, after_init from #{File.dirname(__FILE__)}"
  if site.config["source"] != "yolo"
    raise "Please check 'source' variable in configuration. Currently set to " + site.config["source"]
  end
end
