* A new client `k8s.io/client-go/metadata.Client` has been added for accessing objects generically. This client makes it easier to retrieve only the metadata (the `metadata` sub-section) from resources on the cluster in an efficient manner for use cases that deal with objects generically, like the garbage collector, quota, or the namespace controller. The client asks the server to return a `meta.k8s.io/v1 PartialObjectMetadata` object for list, get, delete, watch, and patch...

in mind. It is strongly typed and garbage-collected and has explicit
support for concurrent programming.  Programs are constructed from
<i>packages</i>, whose properties allow efficient management of
dependencies.

The syntax is compact and simple to parse, allowing for easy analysis
by automatic tools such as integrated development environments.
