Before I use python v3 to connect AWS Kubernetes weaviate use below code:  
client = weaviate.Client(  
url = " \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* “,  
auth\_client\_secret=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(api\_key=” \*\*\*\*\*\*\* "),  
additional\_headers= {  
“X-AWS-Access-Key”: " \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ",  
“X-AWS-Secret-Key”: " \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ",  
}  
)

could you help me refactor above code with python v4 version.

hi @alisha_liu !

The new python v4 also uses [GRPC](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/api/grpc). Because of that, it will also expect a listening GRPC service on port 50051.

This was [also changed in our helm chart](https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate-helm/blob/c748e6d66771e1bdc9eab78f2b3ac2dc88c0db2b/weaviate/values.yaml#L134)

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks!
