Collectors

public final class Collectors
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	java.util.stream.Collectors

Implementations of Collector that implement various useful reduction operations, such as accumulating elements into collections, summarizing elements according to various criteria, etc.

The following are examples of using the predefined collectors to perform common mutable reduction tasks:

// Accumulate names into a List
     List<String> list = people.stream().map(Person::getName).collect(Collectors.toList());

     // Accumulate names into a TreeSet
     Set<String> set = people.stream().map(Person::getName).collect(Collectors.toCollection(TreeSet::new));

     // Convert elements to strings and concatenate them, separated by commas
     String joined = things.stream()
                           .map(Object::toString)
                           .collect(Collectors.joining(", "));

     // Compute sum of salaries of employee
     int total = employees.stream()
                          .collect(Collectors.summingInt(Employee::getSalary)));

     // Group employees by department
     Map<Department, List<Employee>> byDept
         = employees.stream()
                    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment));

     // Compute sum of salaries by department
     Map<Department, Integer> totalByDept
         = employees.stream()
                    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment,
                                                   Collectors.summingInt(Employee::getSalary)));

     // Partition students into passing and failing
     Map<Boolean, List<Student>> passingFailing =
         students.stream()
                 .collect(Collectors.partitioningBy(s -> s.getGrade() >= PASS_THRESHOLD));

Public methods

averagingDouble

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Double> averagingDouble (ToDoubleFunction<? super T> mapper)

Returns a Collector that produces the arithmetic mean of a double-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

The average returned can vary depending upon the order in which values are recorded, due to accumulated rounding error in addition of values of differing magnitudes. Values sorted by increasing absolute magnitude tend to yield more accurate results. If any recorded value is a NaN or the sum is at any point a NaN then the average will be NaN.

Implementation Note:

The double format can represent all consecutive integers in the range -2⁵³ to 2⁵³. If the pipeline has more than 2⁵³ values, the divisor in the average computation will saturate at 2⁵³, leading to additional numerical errors.

Parameters
`mapper`	`ToDoubleFunction`: a function extracting the property to be summed

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, Double>`	a `Collector` that produces the sum of a derived property

averagingInt

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Double> averagingInt (ToIntFunction<? super T> mapper)

Returns a Collector that produces the arithmetic mean of an integer-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

Parameters
`mapper`	`ToIntFunction`: a function extracting the property to be summed

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, Double>`	a `Collector` that produces the sum of a derived property

averagingLong

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Double> averagingLong (ToLongFunction<? super T> mapper)

Returns a Collector that produces the arithmetic mean of a long-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

Parameters
`mapper`	`ToLongFunction`: a function extracting the property to be summed

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, Double>`	a `Collector` that produces the sum of a derived property

collectingAndThen

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, A, RR> collectingAndThen (Collector<T, A, R> downstream, 
                Function<R, RR> finisher)

Adapts a Collector to perform an additional finishing transformation. For example, one could adapt the toList() collector to always produce an immutable list with:

List<String> people
         = people.stream().collect(collectingAndThen(toList(), Collections::unmodifiableList));

Parameters
`downstream`	`Collector`: a collector
`finisher`	`Function`: a function to be applied to the final result of the downstream collector

Returns
`Collector<T, A, RR>`	a collector which performs the action of the downstream collector, followed by an additional finishing step

counting

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Long> counting ()

Returns a Collector accepting elements of type T that counts the number of input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

Implementation Requirements:

This produces a result equivalent to:
```
reducing(0L, e -> 1L, Long::sum)
 
```

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, Long>`	a `Collector` that counts the input elements

groupingBy

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Map<K, List<T>>> groupingBy (Function<? super T, ? extends K> classifier)

Returns a Collector implementing a "group by" operation on input elements of type T, grouping elements according to a classification function, and returning the results in a Map.

The classification function maps elements to some key type K. The collector produces a Map<K, List<T>> whose keys are the values resulting from applying the classification function to the input elements, and whose corresponding values are Lists containing the input elements which map to the associated key under the classification function.

There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the Map or List objects returned.

Implementation Requirements:

This produces a result similar to:
```
groupingBy(classifier, toList());
 
```

Implementation Note:

The returned Collector is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the combiner function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If preservation of the order in which elements appear in the resulting Map collector is not required, using groupingByConcurrent(java.util.function.Function) may offer better parallel performance.

Parameters
`classifier`	`Function`: the classifier function mapping input elements to keys

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, Map<K, List<T>>>`	a `Collector` implementing the group-by operation

groupingBy

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, M> groupingBy (Function<? super T, ? extends K> classifier, 
                Supplier<M> mapFactory, 
                Collector<? super T, A, D> downstream)

Returns a Collector implementing a cascaded "group by" operation on input elements of type T, grouping elements according to a classification function, and then performing a reduction operation on the values associated with a given key using the specified downstream Collector. The Map produced by the Collector is created with the supplied factory function.

The classification function maps elements to some key type K. The downstream collector operates on elements of type T and produces a result of type D. The resulting collector produces a Map<K, D>.

For example, to compute the set of last names of people in each city, where the city names are sorted:

Map<City, Set<String>> namesByCity
         = people.stream().collect(groupingBy(Person::getCity, TreeMap::new,
                                              mapping(Person::getLastName, toSet())));

Implementation Note:

The returned Collector is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the combiner function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If preservation of the order in which elements are presented to the downstream collector is not required, using groupingByConcurrent(java.util.function.Function, java.util.function.Supplier, java.util.stream.Collector) may offer better parallel performance.

Parameters
`classifier`	`Function`: a classifier function mapping input elements to keys
`mapFactory`	`Supplier`: a function which, when called, produces a new empty `Map` of the desired type
`downstream`	`Collector`: a `Collector` implementing the downstream reduction

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, M>`	a `Collector` implementing the cascaded group-by operation

                Collector<? super T, A, D> downstream)

There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the Map returned.

For example, to compute the set of last names of people in each city:

Map<City, Set<String>> namesByCity
         = people.stream().collect(groupingBy(Person::getCity,
                                              mapping(Person::getLastName, toSet())));

Implementation Note:

The returned Collector is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the combiner function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If preservation of the order in which elements are presented to the downstream collector is not required, using groupingByConcurrent(java.util.function.Function, java.util.stream.Collector) may offer better parallel performance.

For example, to compute the set of last names of people in each city, where the city names are sorted:

ConcurrentMap<City, Set<String>> namesByCity
         = people.stream().collect(groupingByConcurrent(Person::getCity,
                                                        mapping(Person::getLastName, toSet())));

Returns a concurrent Collector implementing a "group by" operation on input elements of type T, grouping elements according to a classification function.

This is a Collector.Characteristics#CONCURRENT and Collector.Characteristics#UNORDERED Collector.

The classification function maps elements to some key type K. The collector produces a ConcurrentMap<K, List<T>> whose keys are the values resulting from applying the classification function to the input elements, and whose corresponding values are Lists containing the input elements which map to the associated key under the classification function.

reducing

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, U> reducing (U identity, 
                Function<? super T, ? extends U> mapper, 
                BinaryOperator<U> op)

Returns a Collector which performs a reduction of its input elements under a specified mapping function and BinaryOperator. This is a generalization of reducing(java.lang.Object, java.util.function.BinaryOperator) which allows a transformation of the elements before reduction.

API Note:

The reducing() collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, downstream of groupingBy or partitioningBy. To perform a simple map-reduce on a stream, use Stream#map(Function) and Stream#reduce(Object, BinaryOperator) instead.
For example, given a stream of Person, to calculate the longest last name of residents in each city:
```
Comparator<String> byLength = Comparator.comparing(String::length);
     Map<City, String> longestLastNameByCity
         = people.stream().collect(groupingBy(Person::getCity,
                                              reducing(Person::getLastName, BinaryOperator.maxBy(byLength))));
 
```

Parameters
`identity`	`U`: the identity value for the reduction (also, the value that is returned when there are no input elements)
`mapper`	`Function`: a mapping function to apply to each input value
`op`	`BinaryOperator`: a `BinaryOperator<U>` used to reduce the mapped values

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, U>`	a `Collector` implementing the map-reduce operation

                BinaryOperator<T> op)

Returns a Collector which performs a reduction of its input elements under a specified BinaryOperator using the provided identity.

API Note:

The reducing() collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, downstream of groupingBy or partitioningBy. To perform a simple reduction on a stream, use Stream#reduce(Object, BinaryOperator)} instead.

Parameters

summingDouble

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Double> summingDouble (ToDoubleFunction<? super T> mapper)

Returns a Collector that produces the sum of a double-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

The sum returned can vary depending upon the order in which values are recorded, due to accumulated rounding error in addition of values of differing magnitudes. Values sorted by increasing absolute magnitude tend to yield more accurate results. If any recorded value is a NaN or the sum is at any point a NaN then the sum will be NaN.

Parameters
`mapper`	`ToDoubleFunction`: a function extracting the property to be summed

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, Double>`	a `Collector` that produces the sum of a derived property

summingInt

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Integer> summingInt (ToIntFunction<? super T> mapper)

Returns a Collector that produces the sum of a integer-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

Parameters
`mapper`	`ToIntFunction`: a function extracting the property to be summed

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, Integer>`	a `Collector` that produces the sum of a derived property

summingLong

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Long> summingLong (ToLongFunction<? super T> mapper)

Returns a Collector that produces the sum of a long-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.

Parameters
`mapper`	`ToLongFunction`: a function extracting the property to be summed

Parameters
`collectionFactory`	`Supplier`: a `Supplier` which returns a new, empty `Collection` of the appropriate type

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, C>`	a `Collector` which collects all the input elements into a `Collection`, in encounter order

toConcurrentMap

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, M> toConcurrentMap (Function<? super T, ? extends K> keyMapper, 
                Function<? super T, ? extends U> valueMapper, 
                BinaryOperator<U> mergeFunction, 
                Supplier<M> mapSupplier)

Returns a concurrent Collector that accumulates elements into a ConcurrentMap whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.

If the mapped keys contains duplicates (according to Object#equals(Object)), the value mapping function is applied to each equal element, and the results are merged using the provided merging function. The ConcurrentMap is created by a provided supplier function.

This is a Collector.Characteristics#CONCURRENT and Collector.Characteristics#UNORDERED Collector.

Parameters
`keyMapper`	`Function`: a mapping function to produce keys
`valueMapper`	`Function`: a mapping function to produce values
`mergeFunction`	`BinaryOperator`: a merge function, used to resolve collisions between values associated with the same key, as supplied to `Map#merge(Object, Object, BiFunction)`

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, M>`	a concurrent, unordered `Collector` which collects elements into a `ConcurrentMap` whose keys are the result of applying a key mapping function to the input elements, and whose values are the result of applying a value mapping function to all input elements equal to the key and combining them using the merge function

toConcurrentMap

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, ConcurrentMap<K, U>> toConcurrentMap (Function<? super T, ? extends K> keyMapper, 
                Function<? super T, ? extends U> valueMapper, 
                BinaryOperator<U> mergeFunction)

Returns a concurrent Collector that accumulates elements into a ConcurrentMap whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.

API Note:

There are multiple ways to deal with collisions between multiple elements mapping to the same key. The other forms of toConcurrentMap simply use a merge function that throws unconditionally, but you can easily write more flexible merge policies. For example, if you have a stream of Person, and you want to produce a "phone book" mapping name to address, but it is possible that two persons have the same name, you can do as follows to gracefully deals with these collisions, and produce a Map mapping names to a concatenated list of addresses:
```
Map<String, String> phoneBook
         people.stream().collect(toConcurrentMap(Person::getName,
                                                 Person::getAddress,
                                                 (s, a) -> s + ", " + a));
 
```
This is a Collector.Characteristics#CONCURRENT and Collector.Characteristics#UNORDERED Collector.

Parameters
`keyMapper`	`Function`: a mapping function to produce keys
`valueMapper`	`Function`: a mapping function to produce values
`mergeFunction`	`BinaryOperator`: a merge function, used to resolve collisions between values associated with the same key, as supplied to `Map#merge(Object, Object, BiFunction)`

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, ConcurrentMap<K, U>>`	a concurrent, unordered `Collector` which collects elements into a `ConcurrentMap` whose keys are the result of applying a key mapping function to the input elements, and whose values are the result of applying a value mapping function to all input elements equal to the key and combining them using the merge function

toConcurrentMap

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, ConcurrentMap<K, U>> toConcurrentMap (Function<? super T, ? extends K> keyMapper, 
                Function<? super T, ? extends U> valueMapper)

Returns a concurrent Collector that accumulates elements into a ConcurrentMap whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.

If the mapped keys contains duplicates (according to Object#equals(Object)), an IllegalStateException is thrown when the collection operation is performed. If the mapped keys may have duplicates, use toConcurrentMap(java.util.function.Function, java.util.function.Function, java.util.function.BinaryOperator) instead.

API Note:

It is common for either the key or the value to be the input elements. In this case, the utility method Function.identity() may be helpful. For example, the following produces a Map mapping students to their grade point average:
```
Map<Student, Double> studentToGPA
         students.stream().collect(toMap(Functions.identity(),
                                         student -> computeGPA(student)));
 
```
And the following produces a Map mapping a unique identifier to students:
```
Map<String, Student> studentIdToStudent
         students.stream().collect(toConcurrentMap(Student::getId,
                                                   Functions.identity());
 
```
This is a Collector.Characteristics#CONCURRENT and Collector.Characteristics#UNORDERED Collector.

Parameters
`keyMapper`	`Function`: the mapping function to produce keys
`valueMapper`	`Function`: the mapping function to produce values

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, ConcurrentMap<K, U>>`	a concurrent, unordered `Collector` which collects elements into a `ConcurrentMap` whose keys are the result of applying a key mapping function to the input elements, and whose values are the result of applying a value mapping function to the input elements

toList

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, List<T>> toList ()

Returns a Collector that accumulates the input elements into a new List. There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the List returned; if more control over the returned List is required, use toCollection(java.util.function.Supplier).

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, List<T>>`	a `Collector` which collects all the input elements into a `List`, in encounter order

toMap

Added in API level 24

public static Collector<T, ?, Map<K, U>> toMap (Function<? super T, ? extends K> keyMapper, 
                Function<? super T, ? extends U> valueMapper, 
                BinaryOperator<U> mergeFunction)

Returns a Collector that accumulates elements into a Map whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.

API Note:

There are multiple ways to deal with collisions between multiple elements mapping to the same key.

```
Map<String, String> phoneBook
         people.stream().collect(toMap(Person::getName,
                                       Person::getAddress,
                                       (s, a) -> s + ", " + a));
 
```

Implementation Note:

The returned Collector is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, the combiner function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If it is not required that results are merged into the Map in encounter order, using toConcurrentMap(java.util.function.Function, java.util.function.Function, java.util.function.BinaryOperator) may offer better parallel performance.

Parameters
`keyMapper`	`Function`: a mapping function to produce keys
`valueMapper`	`Function`: a mapping function to produce values
`mergeFunction`	`BinaryOperator`: a merge function, used to resolve collisions between values associated with the same key, as supplied to `Map#merge(Object, Object, BiFunction)`

Returns
`Collector<T, ?, Map<K, U>>`	a `Collector` which collects elements into a `Map` whose keys are the result of applying a key mapping function to the input elements, and whose values are the result of applying a value mapping function to all input elements equal to the key and combining them using the merge function
