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.
kubectl get can output a series of objects as a List in versioned
form, but not all API objects are available in the same schema.
Make the act of converting a []runtime.Object to api.List more
robust and add a test to verify its behavior in Get.
Makes it easier for client code to output unified objects.
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.
