             Summary: Fix Inconsistency in Allocation Removal from 
sortedRequests
                 Key: YUNIKORN-3084
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YUNIKORN-3084
             Project: Apache YuniKorn
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core - scheduler
    Affects Versions: 1.6.3, 1.6.2, 1.6.1, 1.6.0
            Reporter: Mit Desai
            Assignee: Mit Desai


There is an issue in the _remove_ method of _sortedRequests_ in the scheduler 
that causes allocations to be inconsistently removed. This can lead to a 
situation where an allocation is removed from the application's allocations map 
but remains in the sortedRequests list, consuming scheduler cycles for 
non-existant pods. This also leads to a state where not all allocations get 
removed and Application stays in the UI in a _New_ state even though it has 
already been removed from the cluster.

The current implementation of the _remove_ method in _sortedRequests_ uses a 
binary search approach with the _LessThan_ comparison function to find 
allocations to remove. However, this approach is flawed because:

1. The binary search is looking for an allocation based on priority and 
creation time, not by its unique allocation key
2. When multiple allocations have the same priority and creation time, the 
binary search may find the wrong allocation
3. This causes inconsistent behavior where allocations are not properly removed 
from the _sortedRequests_ list

The binary search in the _remove_ method is using the _LessThan_ comparison 
function, which compares allocations based on priority and creation time, not 
by allocation key. When multiple allocations have the same priority and 
creation time, the binary search may find a different allocation than the one 
we want to remove.
