Support for VolumeSnapshots in 1.17

[ajaykmis]

Hello,

I am trying to use VolumeSnapshotting feature in kubernetes which is supported in beta in 1.17.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volume-snapshots/

But looking through the client, I didn't find any support for the classes "API Objects VolumeSnapshot, VolumeSnapshotContent, and VolumeSnapshotClass are CRDs" in this client.

is there a plan to add support for these in fabric client? or is there another way I can use these?

Thanks in advance.

We do have a PR #2356 for adding extension for Volume snapshots. Do you think that would fit your use case?

@rohanKanojia Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for. Is there a way I can give this a try? May be build a custom version from the source. Could you point me to the instructions?

Also, can you share by when can this be merged and released in a new version. I am okay to use a pre-release version for now.

Thanks :)

I think you should be able to build a SNAPSHOT version and use that for testing.

@rohanKanojia Do you have an ETA on the release?

[rohanKanojia]

@darewreck54 : Do you mean next Kubernetes Client release or release with #2356 merged? I think we would be able to cut a release within this week. But I can't give you much ETA regarding latter case since that PR hasn't gone through review yet.

Hi @rohanKanojia ,

I tried to create a SNAPSHOT version from the PR branch. But I don't see the bundled jar. Just to confirm, I ran "mvn clean install", I see individual jar's get generated for VolumeSnapshot.jar, and kubernetes-client.jar, but I don't see anything "kubernetes-client-project.jar".

If there's a readme, could you please share how can I create a custom version for my use?

I think you need to use volumesnapshot-client for this case
