Do not use .json extension for buffer files because there files are not actually valid json files

[amityagov]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
*.json based buffer files are not valid json files actually.
Rider IDE tries to parse these files and hangs for quite some time.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please, add ability to specify buffer file extension.

Hi there and welcome to this repository!

A maintainer will be with you shortly, but first and foremost I would like to thank you for taking the time to report this issue. Quality is of the highest priority for us, and we would never release anything with known defects. We aim to do our best but unfortunately you are here because you encountered something we didn't expect. Lets see if we can figure out what went wrong and provide a remedy for it.

You are correct, the buffer files are not valid JSON, but they are also considered to be an implementation detail and not a part of the API. Changing the file extension would be a breaking change. I'm not sure the performance of Rider can motivate a breaking change.

Okay, maybe you can provide the way to change default behavior? Currently, it is not possible to change file extension for DurableHttpUsingFileSizeRolledBuffers, because it only has bufferBaseFileName parameter. However DurableHttpUsingTimeRolledBuffers has bufferPathFormat which allows developer to change file extension.

We'll see what we can do. There are a lot of work planned ahead for this sink, let's see where this fits.

@amityagov If it is still relevant for you: You can configure Rider to ignore the Buffer files so they don't chew away those CPU cycles.
Go to the Rider Settings > "Editor" > "Inspection Settings" > "Elements to Skip" and add the following file mask:
Buffer-*.json
