Automatically detect kind and apiVersion in Resources

[danajp]

So I've found myself writing a lot of code like this lately:

kube_url = 'https://k8s.example.com'
core_client = Kubeclient::Client.new(kube_url, 'v1', :ssl_options => some_ssl_options)
ext_client = Kubeclient::Client.new(kube_url, 'apis/extensions/v1beta1', :ssl_options => some_ssl_options)
batch_client = Kubeclient::Client.new(kube_url, 'apis/batch/v1', :ssl_options => some_ssl_options)

And then I have to decide which client instance to use depending on the kind of entity I'm working with. The core client for services, ext client for deployments, batch client for jobs, etc. It'd be nice if this worked like kubectl apply -f some-entity.yml where I could specify the kind and apiVersion fields in my Kubeclient::Resource object and have the client instance figure out which api endpoint to use:

deployment = Kubeclient::Resource.new(
  :kind => 'Deployment',
  :apiVersion => 'extensions/v1beta1',
  # ...
)
service = Kubeclient::Resource.new(
  :kind => 'Service',
  :apiVersion => 'v1',
  # ...
)

client.create_entity(deployment)
client.create_entity(service)

I'm considering writing a wrapper to implement this, but I'd much rather modify kubeclient and contribute those changes upstream instead. Is this something the project would be interested in?

@danajp is this a duplicate of #208 ?

Yep, my issue search-fu is weak. I'll close this. Thanks!
