### Search before asking - [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/paimon/issues) and found nothing similar. ### Motivation The Java side supports multiple path selection strategies via `ExternalPathProvider` interface with three implementations. The Python side only had hard-coded round-robin logic, meaning: 1. Tables configured with `entropy-inject` strategy would produce different directory layouts between Java and Python writers, breaking cross-engine reads 2. Tables configured with `weight-robin` strategy could not be written by pypaimon at all ### Solution aligns pypaimon's `ExternalPathProvider` with the Java implementation by supporting all external path selection strategies: `round-robin`, `specific-fs`, `entropy-inject`, and `weight-robin`. ### Anything else? _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [x] I'm willing to submit a PR! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
