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.
Replace many of the remaining s.Convert() invocations with direct
execution, and make generated methods public. Removes 10% of the
allocations during decode of a pod and ~20-40% of the total CPU time.
Rather than an "all or nothing" approach to defining a custom conversion
function (which seems destined to cause problems eventually), this is an
attempt to make it possible to call the auto-generated code and then "fix it
up".
Specifically, consider you have a fooBar struct. If you don't define a
conversion for FooBar, you will get a generated function like:
convert_v1_FooBar_To_api_FooBar()
Before this PR, if you define your own conversion function, you get no
generated function. After this PR you get:
autoconvert_v1_FooBar_To_api_FooBar()
...which you can call yourself in your custom function.
A lot of packages use StringSet, but they don't use anything else from
the util package. Moving StringSet into another package will shrink
their dependency trees significantly.
OpenShift uses multiple API packages (types are split) which
Kube will also eventually have as we introduce more plugins.
These changes make the generators able to handle importing different
API object packages into a single generator function.
