This example shows how to implement a payload converter that detects when a payload is larger than a certain threshold, in which case it writes it to a storage system of choice instead of the temporal server. In this particular example payloads are written to a local file but it can be adapted to work with any storage. Such a converter is useful when a workflow/activity regularly has payloads that risk exceeding Temporal's hard limit of 2MB.

What was changed
Added a new sample.
Why?
Two places where I worked required building something similar, so I thought it would be a good idea to write a sample for it. I haven't seen a similar sample available.
Checklist
How was this tested:
Locally with Temporal cluster as well as unit tests available.
Any docs updates needed?
No
