In this PR, https://github.com/kubeflow/common/pull/135/files, it changes rtype to ReplicaType.

However, it brings some challenges in operator upgrade.

-		expectationPodsKey := expectation.GenExpectationPodsKey(jobKey, rtype)
+		expectationPodsKey := expectation.GenExpectationPodsKey(jobKey, apiv1.ReplicaType(rtype))

Using this line as an example, controller retrieve rtype from pod label. It's lower case at this moment.

apiv1.ReplicaType(rtype) is inaccurate and meaningless because we define Upper case role like Master in the past,
and this conversion give us a non-exist ReplicaType because it's lower case master.

we have some references like below.

I feel like all the role should be lower case, we make sure we don't use ReplicaType for comparison. Instead, still use strings.toLower(string(rtype)) which means PR 135 still not helpful?

This indeed feel like unnecessary and complicate the implementations. Kubeflow/common should aim to be easy for downstream operators to implement.

Maybe more helper functions would resolve comparison issue? I think we can add some type name convention by defining ReplicaType type and add more util functions.

Yeah, I add something like https://github.com/kubeflow/tf-operator/pull/1388/files#diff-7600abe3663b532d64fec9dae52fcb3b972fb034c53a45fe0030fc61776d1612R56

Did you use kubeflow/common in operator other than kubeflow training operators?
