受到@skiwi的启发，我用下面的方法解决了这个问题:

public static <T> T toSingleton(Stream<T> stream) {
    List<T> list = stream.limit(1).collect(Collectors.toList());
    if (list.isEmpty()) {
        return null;
    } else {
        return list.get(0);
    }
}

然后:

User user = toSingleton(users.stream().filter(...).map(...));

public List<state> getAllActiveState() {
    List<Master> master = masterRepository.getActiveExamMasters();
    Master activeMaster = new Master();
    try {
        activeMaster = master.stream().filter(status -> status.getStatus() == true).reduce((u, v) -> {
            throw new IllegalStateException();
        }).get();
        return stateRepository.getAllStateActiveId(activeMaster.getId());
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        logger.info(":More than one status found TRUE in Master");
        return null;
    }
}

In this above code, As per the condition if its find more than one true in the list then it will through the exception. When it through the error will showing custom message because it easy maintain the logs on server side. From Nth number of element present in list just want only one element have true condition if in list there are more than one elements having true status at that moment it will through an exception. after getting all the this we using get(); to taking that one element from list and stored it into another object. If you want you added optional like Optional<activeMaster > = master.stream().filter(status -> status.getStatus() == true).reduce((u, v) -> {throw new IllegalStateException();}).get();

Guava提供了MoreCollectors.onlyElement()，它在这里做正确的事情。但如果你必须自己做，你可以为这个创建自己的Collector:

<E> Collector<E, ?, Optional<E>> getOnly() {
  return Collector.of(
    AtomicReference::new,
    (ref, e) -> {
      if (!ref.compareAndSet(null, e)) {
         throw new IllegalArgumentException("Multiple values");
      }
    },
    (ref1, ref2) -> {
      if (ref1.get() == null) {
        return ref2;
      } else if (ref2.get() != null) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Multiple values");
      } else {
        return ref1;
      }
    },
    ref -> Optional.ofNullable(ref.get()),
    Collector.Characteristics.UNORDERED);
}

…或者使用你自己的Holder类型而不是AtomicReference。您可以尽可能多地重用收集器。

为了完整起见，下面是@prunge的精彩回答对应的“一行”:

User user1 = users.stream()
        .filter(user -> user.getId() == 1)
        .reduce((a, b) -> {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Multiple elements: " + a + ", " + b);
        })
        .get();

这将从流中获得唯一匹配的元素，即抛出

NoSuchElementException，如果流是空的，或者 IllegalStateException，如果流包含多个匹配元素。

这种方法的一种变体可以避免过早抛出异常，而是将结果表示为一个包含唯一元素的Optional，如果有零个或多个元素，则什么都不包含(空):

Optional<User> user1 = users.stream()
        .filter(user -> user.getId() == 1)
        .collect(Collectors.reducing((a, b) -> null));

使用Reduce和Optional

来自Fabio Bonfante的回应:

public <T> T getOneExample(Collection<T> collection) {
    return collection.stream()
        .filter(x -> /* do some filter */)
        .reduce((x,y)-> {throw new IllegalStateException("multiple");})
        .orElseThrow(() -> new NoSuchElementException("none"));
}

我正在使用这两个收集器:

public static <T> Collector<T, ?, Optional<T>> zeroOrOne() {
    return Collectors.reducing((a, b) -> {
        throw new IllegalStateException("More than one value was returned");
    });
}

public static <T> Collector<T, ?, T> onlyOne() {
    return Collectors.collectingAndThen(zeroOrOne(), Optional::get);
}
