The APISIX series Resources should be maintained in a separate repository

[tokers]

So far both apisix-ingress-controller and apisix-dashboard maintain their own definitions for each APISIX resource, like Route, Upstream, Consumers and so on.

I propose to keep the definitions for those resources in a separate repository, and versioning them according to the release of data plane.

Protobuf 3 is a good choice to definition them.

Agree

We can ref to https://github.com/kubernetes/code-generator/cmd/go-to-protobuf

the submodule apisix-types in apisix-ingress-controller also use the code-generator.

No plan to support it yet.
