Enabling clients to tell if resource endpoints serve the same set of objects

Enhancement Description

• One-line enhancement description (can be used as a release note):

Enabling clients to tell if resource endpoints serve the same set of objects

• Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal:

We propose to expand the discovery API to enable clients to tell if resource
endpoints (e.g., extensions/v1beta1/replicaset and apps/v1/replicaset) are
referring the same set of objects.

Motivation

Today, some workload objects (e.g., replicasets) are accessible from both the
extensions and the apps endpoints. This can happen to more of Kubernetes
APIs in the future. Enabling the clients to programmatically detect aliasing
endpoints can improve both the correctness and the efficiency.
