Add missing supports for kubernetes client stable and gold

[mbohlool]

according to new kubernetes client guidelines python client is beta support and has silver capabilities. We are almost there to have gold capabilities and stable support. missing parts are:

Gold:

• Support attach, port-forward calls
• Proto encoding
• Generated examples [Examples] Incorrect Module Reference #252 Fix generated examples #219

Stable:

• N documented users of the library
• Support level documented per-platform
• Deprecation policy (backwards compatibility guarantees documented)
• Release process well documented

@mbohlool what does "proto encoding" mean?

[mbohlool]

@lavalamp should know more about this, but I assume it means we encode the request body with proto instead of json.

[lavalamp]

Correct, request & response bodies. Here's an example proto file: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/apis/apps/v1beta1/generated.proto

You may not be able to determine the proto encoding from the OpenAPI spec--it'll be interesting to see you try to support these protos in a non-go language...

Also the levels were chosen so that Silver was a perfectly acceptable sort of client to have, so it's not bad to be Silver :)

It's just that if someone is going to write a high-bandwidth controller of some sort, proto is a lot more efficient.

@lavalamp what does "Generated Examples" mean in that doc? Does that mean that you have example code for the library? or that it is generated from something?

Sorry if it's too obious, but does proto mean using this library: https://github.com/google/protobuf/tree/master/python ?

[mbohlool]

I looked briefly. The library needs protoc to be installed using other means than pip. If prefer other python only solutions but if that is only option, we should take it. Basically we want to be able to talk proto with api server instead of json. That could include using generated proto messages in k8s main repo. This needs some investigation before implementation.

Just to clarify, does this mean port forwarding is not currently supported?
