kube-apiserver flag redefined: log_dir about client-go HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm willing to guess that your vendor folder contains two glogs and this is causing the redefinition error i.e.

vendor/github.com/golang/glog
vendor/k8s.io/client-go/vendor/github.com/golang/glog

One quick solution might be to delete the vendor/k8s.io/client-go/vendor/github.com/golang/glog one, rebuild, and try running it again.

@dongsupark if client-go doesn't include vendor/, go get users will have a hard time. go get will download from the master branches of the dependent repos, which may not compile with client-go. We need to make trade-off, let's discuss on #83.

@vklonghml maybe this is not directly related to your problem, but why would k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kube-apiserver/apiserver.go ended up calling client-go?

Yesterday I hit the same issue with error messages like "flag redefined: log_dir", which was not exactly easy to address.

When a go application depends on client-go, developer should either manually clean up duplicated vendors locally, (like above) or make it selectively vendor k8s.io/client-go. Obviously the latter is a better choice in practice.

In the long term, I think client-go should not include own vendor directories on its own, like being discussed in #83.
