[feature] Namespace as global constant and env variable in SDK

[modichika]

Feature Area

What feature would you like to see?
I would like to see the possibility of parameterizing the namespace parameter in the Client sdk during initialization. One way, it seems to me, is the environment variable

What is the use case or pain point?
We have deployed kubeflow pipelines in cluster mode, but not in namespace=kubeflow, but in another kubeflow-pipelines. Therefore, we needed to make two edits locally to make the sdk compatible.

pipelines/sdk/python/kfp/client/client.py

Line 146 in 390ec45

namespace: str = 'kubeflow',

pipelines/sdk/python/kfp/client/client.py

Line 183 in 390ec45

if namespace != 'kubeflow':
Is there a workaround currently?
At the moment, I don't see anything except a local patch.

Love this idea? Give it a 👍.

I suggest adding the following labels: enhancement,area:backend

Reasoning: Allowing parameterization of the namespace will enhance the SDK's flexibility and usability for different deployment scenarios.
