As far as I know, nobody uses it. It was replaced by PublicIPs. If I were
being very polite I would leave it in internal, but since I am 99.99% sure
nobody uses it, I am cutting it. Let's argue about it.
If a client says they want the name to be generated, a 409 is
not appropriate (since they didn't specify a name). Instead, we
should return the next most appropriate error, which is a 5xx
error indicating the request failed but the client *should* try
again. Since there is no 5xx error that exactly fits this purpose,
use 500 with StatusReasonTryAgainLater set.
This commit does not implement client retry on TryAgainLater, but
clients should retry up to a certain number of times.
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.
