Meet0861 opened a new pull request, #24759: URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/24759
Fixes: [#24754](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/24754) ### Motivation The topK bundle selection fails due to the sorting failure in the partition sort algo being used [here](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/437d9f6a3ccfdfd327ac032c298728fcc43fc263/pulsar-broker/src/main/java/org/apache/pulsar/broker/loadbalance/extensions/models/TopKBundles.java#L115). Partition sort uses, NamespaceBundleStats' + BundleData's custom ccompararable implementations where it checks throughput, connections, cache size etc against the defined threshold and when values are within the defined thresholds, they are considered "equal" (return 0), but this creates transitivity violations. It violates the transitivity property required by Java's Comparable interface, causing [Collections.sort()](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/437d9f6a3ccfdfd327ac032c298728fcc43fc263/pulsar-broker/src/main/java/org/apache/pulsar/broker/loadbalance/extensions/models/TopKBundles.java#L148) to potentially throw IllegalArgumentException with "Comparison method violates its general contract" error. Error Log: `2025-09-12T22:29:58.832386492+05:30 16:59:58.832 [pulsar-load-manager-1-1] WARN org.apache.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.LoadResourceQuotaUpdaterTask - Error write resource quota - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general contract` Due to this failure, the job - writeBundleDataOnZooKeeper(leader broker writes bundle data aggregated from all brokers to metadata store) in modularLoadManager may fail [link](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/437d9f6a3ccfdfd327ac032c298728fcc43fc263/pulsar-broker/src/main/java/org/apache/pulsar/broker/loadbalance/impl/ModularLoadManagerImpl.java#L1173) and can cause degradation in productions due to failure/inconsistencies in LB decisions ### Modifications added strict NamespaceBundleStats comparator and BundleData comparator to be used for sorting for topk bundle comparison which is being used by ModularLoadManager and ExtensibleLoadManager ### Verifying this change - [ ] Make sure that the change passes the CI checks.

GitHub Actions provides separate quota for pull requests that are executed in a forked repository. The tests will be run in the forked repository until all PR review comments have been handled, the tests pass and the PR is approved by a reviewer. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
