你能写的最简单的代码:

    persons.stream().map(x-> x.getName()).distinct().collect(Collectors.toList());

我做了一个通用版本:

private <T, R> Collector<T, ?, Stream<T>> distinctByKey(Function<T, R> keyExtractor) {
    return Collectors.collectingAndThen(
            toMap(
                    keyExtractor,
                    t -> t,
                    (t1, t2) -> t1
            ),
            (Map<R, T> map) -> map.values().stream()
    );
}

每年的例子:

Stream.of(new Person("Jean"), 
          new Person("Jean"),
          new Person("Paul")
)
    .filter(...)
    .collect(distinctByKey(Person::getName)) // return a stream of Person with 2 elements, jean and Paul
    .map(...)
    .collect(toList())

Here is the example
public class PayRoll {

    private int payRollId;
    private int id;
    private String name;
    private String dept;
    private int salary;


    public PayRoll(int payRollId, int id, String name, String dept, int salary) {
        super();
        this.payRollId = payRollId;
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.dept = dept;
        this.salary = salary;
    }
} 

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Optional;
import java.util.stream.Collector;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class Prac {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int salary=70000;
        PayRoll payRoll=new PayRoll(1311, 1, "A", "HR", salary);
        PayRoll payRoll2=new PayRoll(1411, 2    , "B", "Technical", salary);
        PayRoll payRoll3=new PayRoll(1511, 1, "C", "HR", salary);
        PayRoll payRoll4=new PayRoll(1611, 1, "D", "Technical", salary);
        PayRoll payRoll5=new PayRoll(711, 3,"E", "Technical", salary);
        PayRoll payRoll6=new PayRoll(1811, 3, "F", "Technical", salary);
        List<PayRoll>list=new ArrayList<PayRoll>();
        list.add(payRoll);
        list.add(payRoll2);
        list.add(payRoll3);
        list.add(payRoll4);
        list.add(payRoll5);
        list.add(payRoll6);


        Map<Object, Optional<PayRoll>> k = list.stream().collect(Collectors.groupingBy(p->p.getId()+"|"+p.getDept(),Collectors.maxBy(Comparator.comparingInt(PayRoll::getPayRollId))));


        k.entrySet().forEach(p->
        {
            if(p.getValue().isPresent())
            {
                System.out.println(p.getValue().get());
            }
        });



    }
}

Output:

PayRoll [payRollId=1611, id=1, name=D, dept=Technical, salary=70000]
PayRoll [payRollId=1811, id=3, name=F, dept=Technical, salary=70000]
PayRoll [payRollId=1411, id=2, name=B, dept=Technical, salary=70000]
PayRoll [payRollId=1511, id=1, name=C, dept=HR, salary=70000]

你能写的最简单的代码:

    persons.stream().map(x-> x.getName()).distinct().collect(Collectors.toList());

将distinct视为一个有状态过滤器。下面是一个函数，它返回一个谓词，该谓词维护之前所见内容的状态，并返回给定元素是否第一次被看到:

public static <T> Predicate<T> distinctByKey(Function<? super T, ?> keyExtractor) {
    Set<Object> seen = ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet();
    return t -> seen.add(keyExtractor.apply(t));
}

然后你可以这样写:

persons.stream().filter(distinctByKey(Person::getName))

注意，如果流是有序的并且是并行运行的，这将保留副本中的任意一个元素，而不是像distinct()那样保留第一个元素。

(这本质上与我对这个问题的回答相同:Java Lambda Stream Distinct()对任意键?)

实现这一点最简单的方法是跳到sort特性上，因为它已经提供了一个可选的Comparator，可以使用元素的属性创建。然后你必须过滤掉重复项，这可以使用一个状态完备的Predicate来完成，它使用的事实是，对于一个已排序的流，所有相等的元素是相邻的:

Comparator<Person> c=Comparator.comparing(Person::getName);
stream.sorted(c).filter(new Predicate<Person>() {
    Person previous;
    public boolean test(Person p) {
      if(previous!=null && c.compare(previous, p)==0)
        return false;
      previous=p;
      return true;
    }
})./* more stream operations here */;

当然，一个有状态的Predicate不是线程安全的，但是如果你需要，你可以把这个逻辑移到一个Collector中，让流在使用你的Collector时处理线程安全。这取决于你想如何处理你在问题中没有告诉我们的不同元素流。
