### Feature

- A new client side metric `rest_client_request_retries_total` has been added that tracks the number of retries sent to the server, partitioned by status code, verb and host ([#108396](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108396), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

  the garbage collector starts to manage it.


#### Monitoring/Prometheus
* [action required] The WATCHLIST calls are now reported as WATCH verbs in prometheus for the apiserver_request_* series.  A new "scope" label is added to all apiserver_request_* values that is either 'cluster', 'resource', or 'namespace' depending on which level the query is performed at.([#52237](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52237))

  - If all QueueingHintFn return QueueSkip, it puts this pod back to the unschedulable pod pool
  
  Having appropriate QueueingHintFn contributes to reducing useless retries and thus improves the overall scheduler's performance.
  
  **How can I migrate?**
  
  For backward compatibility, nil `QueueingHintFn` is treated as always returning QueueAfterBackoff. 

- Update the Event series starting count when emitting isomorphic events from 1 to 2. ([#119375](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119375), [@dgrisonnet](https://github.com/dgrisonnet)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

## Dependencies

- Kube-scheduler now retries scheduling Pods rejected by the PodTopologySpread plugin when related Pods are created, deleted, updated, or when a node matches the specified topologyKey. ([#122195](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122195), [@nayihz](https://github.com/nayihz))...

- `scheduler`: handling of unschedulable pods because a `ResourceClass` is missing
  is a bit more efficient and no longer relies on periodic retries. ([#120213](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120213), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
