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.
The pending codec -> conversion split changes the signature of
Encode and Decode to be more complicated. Create a stub helper
with the exact semantics of today and do the simple mechanical
refactor here to reduce the cost of that change.
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.
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
Clarify the tests in embedded_test.go to indicate that unmarshalling
of an internal object (runtime.EmbeddedObject) will not work. Instead,
consumers should decode raw external objects.
* Make Codec separate from Scheme
* Move EncodeOrDie off Scheme to take a Codec
* Make Copy work without a Codec
* Create a "latest" package that imports all versions and
sets global defaults for "most recent encoding"
* v1beta1 is the current "latest", v1beta2 exists
* Kill DefaultCodec, replace it with "latest.Codec"
* This updates the client and etcd to store the latest known version
* EmbeddedObject is per schema and per package now
* Move runtime.DefaultScheme to api.Scheme
* Split out WatchEvent since it's not an API object today, treat it
like a special object in api
* Kill DefaultResourceVersioner, instead place it on "latest" (as the
package that understands all packages)
* Move objDiff to runtime.ObjectDiff
