Automatic merge from submit-queue move constants to their own file A step towards #44065 These constants are part of the API and will be moved to k8s.io/api. The helper functions are not and will remain in the main repo. This PR separates them to different files. Next step is put all the helper functions into sub-packages, so that the package `k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/api` only contains code we want to move to k8s.io/api. I added the retest-not-required label because this just moves code to another file in the same package.
This staging/src/k8s.io/client-go directory is the staging area of the client repo. It contains a versioned client, tools built around the client like the reflector, and all the client dependencies. The content will be periodically published to k8s.io/client-go repo.
The staged content is copied from the main repo, i.e., k8s.io/kubernetes, with directory rearrangement and necessary rewritings. To sync the content with the latest code in your local k8s.io/kubernetes, you need to run godep restore in k8s root directory, then run staging/copy.sh.
vendor/k8s.io/client-go is a symlink pointing to this staging area, so to use the packages in the staging area, you can import it as "vendor/client-go/", as if the client were vendored. The client will be vendored from k8s.io/client-go for real after the test matrix is converted to vendor k8s components.
