Question on thread safety

[dlaidlaw]

Which objects in the API are thread-safe? I assume the ApiClient is thread safe, since it is stored statically in the Configuration. Are the various API objects, such as CoreV1Api also thread-safe?

As far as I know, everything in the library is stateless, so everything should be thread-safe.

But under the hood the code is generated by swagger-codegen and uses the okhttp library, so we're relying on them, see:

https://github.com/square/okhttp/wiki/Concurrency

And here's the basic ApiClient code:

The sample client docs for okhttp-gson contains the (possibly boilerplate) message:

It's recommended to create an instance of ApiClient per thread in a multithreaded environment to avoid any potential issues.

Definitively not boilerplate, just ran into problems.
