你能写的最简单的代码:

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

你可以使用groupingBy collector:

persons.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(p -> p.getName())).values().forEach(t -> System.out.println(t.get(0).getId()));

如果你想有另一个流，你可以使用这个:

persons.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(p -> p.getName())).values().stream().map(l -> (l.get(0)));

您可以将person对象包装到另一个类中，该类只比较person的名称。之后，您将打开被包装的对象以再次获得人员流。流操作可能如下所示:

persons.stream()
    .map(Wrapper::new)
    .distinct()
    .map(Wrapper::unwrap)
    ...;

类Wrapper可能看起来如下所示:

class Wrapper {
    private final Person person;
    public Wrapper(Person person) {
        this.person = person;
    }
    public Person unwrap() {
        return person;
    }
    public boolean equals(Object other) {
        if (other instanceof Wrapper) {
            return ((Wrapper) other).person.getName().equals(person.getName());
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
    public int hashCode() {
        return person.getName().hashCode();
    }
}

扩展Stuart Marks的回答，这可以用更短的方式完成，不需要并发映射(如果你不需要并行流):

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

然后调用:

persons.stream().filter(distinctByKey(p -> p.getName());

我的方法是将所有具有相同属性的对象分组在一起，然后将组缩短为1，最后将它们收集为List。

  List<YourPersonClass> listWithDistinctPersons =   persons.stream()
            //operators to remove duplicates based on person name
            .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(p -> p.getName()))
            .values()
            .stream()
            //cut short the groups to size of 1
            .flatMap(group -> group.stream().limit(1))
            //collect distinct users as list
            .collect(Collectors.toList());

基于@josketres的回答，我创建了一个通用的实用方法:

您可以通过创建一个Collector使其对Java 8更加友好。

public static <T> Set<T> removeDuplicates(Collection<T> input, Comparator<T> comparer) {
    return input.stream()
            .collect(toCollection(() -> new TreeSet<>(comparer)));
}


@Test
public void removeDuplicatesWithDuplicates() {
    ArrayList<C> input = new ArrayList<>();
    Collections.addAll(input, new C(7), new C(42), new C(42));
    Collection<C> result = removeDuplicates(input, (c1, c2) -> Integer.compare(c1.value, c2.value));
    assertEquals(2, result.size());
    assertTrue(result.stream().anyMatch(c -> c.value == 7));
    assertTrue(result.stream().anyMatch(c -> c.value == 42));
}

@Test
public void removeDuplicatesWithoutDuplicates() {
    ArrayList<C> input = new ArrayList<>();
    Collections.addAll(input, new C(1), new C(2), new C(3));
    Collection<C> result = removeDuplicates(input, (t1, t2) -> Integer.compare(t1.value, t2.value));
    assertEquals(3, result.size());
    assertTrue(result.stream().anyMatch(c -> c.value == 1));
    assertTrue(result.stream().anyMatch(c -> c.value == 2));
    assertTrue(result.stream().anyMatch(c -> c.value == 3));
}

private class C {
    public final int value;

    private C(int value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
}
