Entity Framework Extensions RetryInterval

Description

Gets or sets the interval to wait before retrying an operation when a transient error occurs.

context.BulkSaveChanges(options => {
	options.RetryCount = 3;
	options.RetryInterval = new TimeSpan(100);
});

Purpose

A transient error is a temporary error that is likely to disappear soon. That rarely happens but they might occur!

This option helps reduce a bulk operation failure by retrying it when a transient error occurs.
