installing tablestore package results in protobuf > 3.20.x which alerts code regeneration is needed

[noti]

When I install latest package 5.2.1, it installed protobuf > 3.20.x which resulted in the following error:

File "/app/.tox/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tablestore/__init__.py", line 115, in <module>

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:
 1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
 2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).
