[SDK] grpc-related bugs in Python SDK

[Electronic-Waste]

What happened?

When I called report_metrics in the SDK built by myself, the first error above occurred.

After I modified grpc.beta.implementations.insecure_channel to grpc.insecure_channel, the second error above occurred.

What did you expect to happen?

After PR #2344 was merged to the main branch, beta_create_DBManager_stub was removed in api_pb2.py. But we did not make changes in the following part of codes so that the first error occurred https://github.com/kubeflow/katib/blob/a6c37e4f3a64ca7f626a4d80f1c3f88362bf03a4/sdk/python/v1beta1/kubeflow/katib/api/katib_client.py#L1288-L1294

Also grpcio package after 1.0.0 has removed beta version. Sometimes we may get errors when we use beta version.

I think we need to may some changes to Python SDK. WDYT👀 @andreyvelich @tenzen-y @johnugeorge

related PR: #2050

I think we also need to copy api_pb2_grpc.py to Python SDK.

I encountered this bug while making the push-based metrics collection demo. This issue is also related to the project.

ref issue: #2340

[tenzen-y]

Could you implement the reproducible UTs or E2E test for the 'report_metrics? IIUC, report_metrics is added without any tests.

[Electronic-Waste]

Yes, I think we should also add some UTs or E2E tests for functions in katib_client.py like #2325 too.

I guess it will be better to describe the test case problem in another issue and open PRs to it.

WDYT👀 @tenzen-y @andreyvelich @johnugeorge @gaocegege

I have strong objections to evolving the report_metrics API without any tests since the report_metrics API is new one. The report_metrics can not be handled the same as other Python API.

Before we move forward, we should implement the UTs for the report_metrcs so that we prove that the new feature doesn't have regressions. We should not add new features without tests.

Whether the feature doesn't have potential regressions are big deal since Katib is not experimental project, Katib is production project.

[andreyvelich]

I agree with @tenzen-y, please let's work on the unit test for report_metrics API and for tune API first to avoid this problems in the first phase.

[Electronic-Waste]

@tenzen-y @andreyvelich UTs for report_metrics has been added by now.

I'll work on UTs for tune API after this issue is addressed.
