Broken go.mod file (3.4): version tag not corresponding with package name

[bozaro]

Issue

I can't get add to project etcd client 3.4+ without tricks:

➜  go get go.etcd.io/[email protected]
go get go.etcd.io/[email protected]: go.etcd.io/[email protected]: invalid version: module contains a go.mod file, so major version must be compatible: should be v0 or v1, not v

Workaround

Add module replace by commit hash instead of tag name:

➜  git rev-list -n 1 v3.4.9
54ba9589114fc3fa5cc36c313550b3c0c0938c91
➜  go mod edit -replace go.etcd.io/etcd=github.com/etcd-io/etcd@$(git rev-list -n 1 v3.4.9)
➜  cat go.mod 
module bozaro.ru/example

go 1.14

replace go.etcd.io/etcd => github.com/etcd-io/etcd v0.5.0-alpha.5.0.20200520232829-54ba9589114f

Correct solution (unfortunatelly it is breaking change)

1. Update package name in go.mod by adding v3 suffix:

➜  go mod edit -module go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 go.mod

2. Update package name in all *.go files:

➜  find . -type f -name '*.go' -exec sed -i -e 's,go.etcd.io/etcd,go.etcd.io/etcd/v3,g' {} \;

I also think "go getting" the latest commit hash pulls in the correct code without the need for the replace.

I believe this got fixed in 3.5.x branch: #11820 .
I think changes of all imports paths are too big change for backporting to a patch release.

Please see #12068 (comment) for summary of the current etcd go.mod situation.

@ptabor Hi! This is half a year old, and v3.5.0 is still not released. Can we hope for either a v3.5.0 release, or a fix on the v3.4.x branch?

[ptabor]

I plan to finalize #12652 (grpc-1.32 - that is code complete) and make experimental 3.5.0-alpha.0 release.
There is no readmap (unfortunately) for final 3.5.0 release.

@ptabor Thanks a lot for the update!
