Rename package from pinecone-client to pinecone #383

Closed jhamon closed 3 months ago

jhamon commented 3 months ago

Problem

We want to rename this package from pinecone-client to pinecone.

Solution

After this rename, we will need to setup a separate project to wrap this and continue publishing it under the old pinecone-client name for people who may not know about the rename, very similar to how old releases have been republished as pinecone using this wrapper project.

Type of Change

Test Plan

Describe specific steps for validating this change.

What's the reason for renaming the package?

We went through a long process this year to get control of the package name pinecone which was previously being squatted by an inactive project. Pinecone is our trademark, so makes sense that we should have the name since it wasn't really being used. Now we have to do some work to migrate over everything (docs, etc) but don't want to break compatibility with anything else out there referencing the old name.
