Break Codec into two general purpose interfaces, Encoder and Decoder,
and move parameter codec responsibilities to ParameterCodec.
Make unversioned types explicit when registering - these types go
through conversion without modification.
Switch to use "__internal" instead of "" to represent the internal
version. Future commits will also add group defaulting (so that "" is
expanded internally into a known group version, and only cleared during
set).
For embedded types like runtime.Object -> runtime.RawExtension, put the
responsibility on the caller of Decode/Encode to handle transformation
into destination serialization. Future commits will expand RawExtension
and Unknown to accept a content encoding as well as bytes.
Make Unknown a bit more powerful and use it to carry unrecognized types.
Make clients opt in to decoding objects that are stored
in the generic api.List object by invoking runtime.DecodeList()
with a set of schemes. Makes it easier to handle unknown
schema objects because decoding is in the control of the code.
Add runtime.Unstructured, which is a simple in memory
representation of an external object.
Adds `ObjectMeta.GenerateName`, an optional string field that defines
name generation behavior if a Name is not provided.
Adds `pkg/api/rest`, which defines the default Kubernetes API pattern
for creation (and will cover update as well). Will allow registries
and REST objects to be merged by moving logic on api out of those places.
Add `pkg/api/rest/resttest`, which will be the test suite that verifies
a RESTStorage object follows the Kubernetes API conventions and begin
reducing our duplicated tests.
Create a new MetadataAccessor interface that combines both
and use it where previously latest.ResourceVersioner and SelfLinker
were being used.
Adds Namespace to the get/set interface. Adds TODO about future
fast path for metadata (as per thockin's comment)
Prepares for the meta object to front multiple underlying types
when TypeMeta and ObjectMeta is split in internal and v1beta3, but
combined in v1beta1 and v1beta2
Allows us to define different watch versioning regimes in the future
as well as to encode information with the resource version.
This changes /watch/resources?resourceVersion=3 to start the watch at
4 instead of 3, which means clients can read a resource version and
then send it back to the server. Clients should no longer do math on
resource versions.
