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();
    }
}

虽然最高赞的答案绝对是Java 8的最佳答案，但它同时在性能方面绝对是最差的。如果您真的想要一个糟糕的低性能应用程序，那么就使用它吧。提取一组唯一人名的简单要求，只需“For-Each”和“set”即可实现。 如果list的大小大于10，情况会更糟。

假设你有一个包含20个对象的集合，如下所示:

public static final List<SimpleEvent> testList = Arrays.asList(
            new SimpleEvent("Tom"), new SimpleEvent("Dick"),new SimpleEvent("Harry"),new SimpleEvent("Tom"),
            new SimpleEvent("Dick"),new SimpleEvent("Huckle"),new SimpleEvent("Berry"),new SimpleEvent("Tom"),
            new SimpleEvent("Dick"),new SimpleEvent("Moses"),new SimpleEvent("Chiku"),new SimpleEvent("Cherry"),
            new SimpleEvent("Roses"),new SimpleEvent("Moses"),new SimpleEvent("Chiku"),new SimpleEvent("gotya"),
            new SimpleEvent("Gotye"),new SimpleEvent("Nibble"),new SimpleEvent("Berry"),new SimpleEvent("Jibble"));

你的SimpleEvent对象是这样的:

public class SimpleEvent {

private String name;
private String type;

public SimpleEvent(String name) {
    this.name = name;
    this.type = "type_"+name;
}

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public String getType() {
    return type;
}

public void setType(String type) {
    this.type = type;
}
}

为了测试，你有这样的JMH代码，(请注意，我使用相同的distinctByKey谓语提到接受的答案):

@Benchmark
@OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.SECONDS)
public void aStreamBasedUniqueSet(Blackhole blackhole) throws Exception{

    Set<String> uniqueNames = testList
            .stream()
            .filter(distinctByKey(SimpleEvent::getName))
            .map(SimpleEvent::getName)
            .collect(Collectors.toSet());
    blackhole.consume(uniqueNames);
}

@Benchmark
@OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.SECONDS)
public void aForEachBasedUniqueSet(Blackhole blackhole) throws Exception{
    Set<String> uniqueNames = new HashSet<>();

    for (SimpleEvent event : testList) {
        uniqueNames.add(event.getName());
    }
    blackhole.consume(uniqueNames);
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws RunnerException {
    Options opt = new OptionsBuilder()
            .include(MyBenchmark.class.getSimpleName())
            .forks(1)
            .mode(Mode.Throughput)
            .warmupBatchSize(3)
            .warmupIterations(3)
            .measurementIterations(3)
            .build();

    new Runner(opt).run();
}

然后你会得到这样的基准测试结果:

Benchmark                                  Mode  Samples        Score  Score error  Units
c.s.MyBenchmark.aForEachBasedUniqueSet    thrpt        3  2635199.952  1663320.718  ops/s
c.s.MyBenchmark.aStreamBasedUniqueSet     thrpt        3   729134.695   895825.697  ops/s

正如您所看到的，与Java 8 Stream相比，简单的For-Each在吞吐量方面提高了3倍，并且错误评分更低。

吞吐量越高，性能越好

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;
    }
}

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());

如果可以的话，我推荐使用Vavr。有了这个库，你可以做以下事情:

io.vavr.collection.List.ofAll(persons)
                       .distinctBy(Person::getName)
                       .toJavaSet() // or any another Java 8 Collection
