Kubernetes Java Client

build Client Capabilities Client Support Level Maven Central

Java client for the kubernetes API.

Client versioning

The Java client uses Semantic Versioning. We increment the major version number whenever we regenerate the client for a new Kubernetes release version (see table below). Whenever we do this there are new APIs added and possibly breaking changes in the generated Kubernetes API Stubs. Whenever you upgrade a major version, be prepared for potential breaking changes.

Installation

To install the Java client library to your local Maven repository, simply execute:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/kubernetes-client/java
cd java
mvn install

Refer to the official documentation for more information.

Maven users

Add this dependency to your project's POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.kubernetes</groupId>
    <artifactId>client-java</artifactId>
    <version>10.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle users

compile 'io.kubernetes:client-java:10.0.0'

Others

At first generate the JAR by executing:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/kubernetes-client/java
cd java/kubernetes
mvn package

Then manually install the following JARs:

  • target/client-java-api-10.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
  • target/lib/*.jar

Known Issues

1. Exception on deleting resources: "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected a string but was BEGIN_OBJECT..."

This is happening because openapi schema from kubernetes upstream doesn't match its implementation due to the limitation of openapi v2 schema expression #86. Consider either catch and ignore the JsonSyntaxException or do the deletion in the following form:

  • Use Kubectl equivalence, see examples here
  • Use generic kubernetes api, see examples here

Example

We prepared a few examples for common use-cases which are shown below:

  • Configuration:
  • Basics:
    • SimpleExample: Simple minimum example of how to use the client.
    • ProtoExample: Request/receive payloads in protobuf serialization protocol.
    • (5.0.0+) PatchExample: Patch resource objects in various supported patch formats, equal to kubectl patch.
    • FluentExample: Construct arbitrary resource in a fluent builder style.
    • YamlExample: Suggested way to load or dump resource in Yaml.
  • Streaming:
    • WatchExample: Subscribe watch events from certain resources, equal to kubectl get <resource> -w.
    • LogsExample: Fetch logs from running containers, equal to kubectl logs.
    • ExecExample: Establish an "exec" session with running containers, equal to kubectl exec.
    • PortForwardExample: Maps local port to a port on the pod, equal to kubectl port-forward.
    • AttachExample: Attach to a process that is already running inside an existing container, equal to kubectl attach.
    • CopyExample: Copy files and directories to and from containers, equal to kubectl cp.
    • WebSocketsExample: Establish an arbitrary web-socket session to certain resources.
  • Advanced: (NOTE: The following example requires client-java-extended module）

list all pods:

import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.ApiClient;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.ApiException;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.Configuration;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.apis.CoreV1Api;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.models.V1Pod;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.models.V1PodList;
import io.kubernetes.client.util.Config;

import java.io.IOException;

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ApiException{
        ApiClient client = Config.defaultClient();
        Configuration.setDefaultApiClient(client);

        CoreV1Api api = new CoreV1Api();
        V1PodList list = api.listPodForAllNamespaces(null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);
        for (V1Pod item : list.getItems()) {
            System.out.println(item.getMetadata().getName());
        }
    }
}

watch on namespace object:

import com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.ApiClient;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.ApiException;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.Configuration;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.apis.CoreV1Api;
import io.kubernetes.client.openapi.models.V1Namespace;
import io.kubernetes.client.util.Config;
import io.kubernetes.client.util.Watch;

import java.io.IOException;

public class WatchExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ApiException{
        ApiClient client = Config.defaultClient();
        Configuration.setDefaultApiClient(client);

        CoreV1Api api = new CoreV1Api();

        Watch<V1Namespace> watch = Watch.createWatch(
                client,
                api.listNamespaceCall(null, null, null, null, null, 5, null, null, Boolean.TRUE, null, null),
                new TypeToken<Watch.Response<V1Namespace>>(){}.getType());

        for (Watch.Response<V1Namespace> item : watch) {
            System.out.printf("%s : %s%n", item.type, item.object.getMetadata().getName());
        }
    }
}

More examples can be found in examples folder. To run examples, run this command:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="io.kubernetes.client.examples.Example"

Model Classes from Popular CRDs

The project also provides model classes generated from some frequently used open source projects as separate maven dependencies. Please refer to the following to see their respective documentation.

Compatibility

client version 1.13 1.14 1.15 1.16 1.17 1.18
5.0.0 ✓ - - x x x
6.0.1 + ✓ - - x x
7.0.0 + + ✓ - - x
8.0.2 + + + ✓ - -
9.0.2 + + + + ✓ -
10.0.0 + + + + + ✓

Key:

  • ✓ Exactly the same features / API objects in both java-client and the Kubernetes version.
  • + java-client has features or api objects that may not be present in the Kubernetes cluster, but everything they have in common will work.
  • - The Kubernetes cluster has features the java-client library can't use (additional API objects, etc).
  • x The Kubernetes cluster has no guarantees to support the API client of this version, as it only promises n-2 version support. It is not tested, and operations using API versions that have been deprecated and removed in later server versions won't function correctly.

See the CHANGELOG for a detailed description of changes between java-client versions.

Development

Update the generated code.

The code is generated by the openapi-generator project.

We have built general purpose cross-language tools for generating code, it is hosted in the kubernetes-client/gen repository.

To get started, in a root directory that is not your java client directory, for example your directory layout could be:

${HOME}/
        src/
             gen/
             java/
...

Then to clone the gen repository, you would run:

cd ${HOME}/src
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-client/gen
export GEN_ROOT=${PWD}

Then to update the client and run the formatter:

cd ${HOME}/src/java
${GEN_ROOT}/gen/openapi/java.sh kubernetes ./settings
./mvnw spotless:apply

This should run through a long-ish build process involving docker and eventually result in a new set of generated code in the kubernetes directory.
