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

有很多方法，这一个也会有帮助-简单，干净和清晰

    List<Employee> employees = new ArrayList<>();

    employees.add(new Employee(11, "Ravi"));
    employees.add(new Employee(12, "Stalin"));
    employees.add(new Employee(23, "Anbu"));
    employees.add(new Employee(24, "Yuvaraj"));
    employees.add(new Employee(35, "Sena"));
    employees.add(new Employee(36, "Antony"));
    employees.add(new Employee(47, "Sena"));
    employees.add(new Employee(48, "Ravi"));

    List<Employee> empList = new ArrayList<>(employees.stream().collect(
                    Collectors.toMap(Employee::getName, obj -> obj,
                    (existingValue, newValue) -> existingValue))
                   .values());

    empList.forEach(System.out::println);


    //  Collectors.toMap(
    //  Employee::getName, - key (the value by which you want to eliminate duplicate)
    //  obj -> obj,  - value (entire employee object)
    //  (existingValue, newValue) -> existingValue) - to avoid illegalstateexception: duplicate key

Output - toString()重载

Employee{id=35, name='Sena'}
Employee{id=12, name='Stalin'}
Employee{id=11, name='Ravi'}
Employee{id=24, name='Yuvaraj'}
Employee{id=36, name='Antony'}
Employee{id=23, name='Anbu'}

我想改进一下斯图尔特·马克斯的回答。如果键是空的，它会通过NullPointerException。在这里，我通过添加一个检查keyExtractor.apply(t)!=null来忽略空键。

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

}

处理null的顶部答案的变体:

    public static <T, K> Predicate<T> distinctBy(final Function<? super T, K> getKey) {
        val seen = ConcurrentHashMap.<Optional<K>>newKeySet();
        return obj -> seen.add(Optional.ofNullable(getKey.apply(obj)));
    }

在我的测试中:

        assertEquals(
                asList("a", "bb"),
                Stream.of("a", "b", "bb", "aa").filter(distinctBy(String::length)).collect(toList()));

        assertEquals(
                asList(5, null, 2, 3),
                Stream.of(5, null, 2, null, 3, 3, 2).filter(distinctBy(x -> x)).collect(toList()));

        val maps = asList(
                hashMapWith(0, 2),
                hashMapWith(1, 2),
                hashMapWith(2, null),
                hashMapWith(3, 1),
                hashMapWith(4, null),
                hashMapWith(5, 2));

        assertEquals(
                asList(0, 2, 3),
                maps.stream()
                        .filter(distinctBy(m -> m.get("val")))
                        .map(m -> m.get("i"))
                        .collect(toList()));

另一个解决方案，使用Set。也许不是理想的解决方案，但有效吗

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(persons.size());
persons.stream().filter(p -> set.add(p.getName())).collect(Collectors.toList());

或者如果可以修改原始列表，可以使用removeIf方法

persons.removeIf(p -> !set.add(p.getName()));

在我的情况下，我需要控制什么是前一个元素。然后，我创建了一个有状态的Predicate，我在其中控制前一个元素是否与当前元素不同，在这种情况下，我保留了它。

public List<Log> fetchLogById(Long id) {
    return this.findLogById(id).stream()
        .filter(new LogPredicate())
        .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

public class LogPredicate implements Predicate<Log> {

    private Log previous;

    public boolean test(Log atual) {
        boolean isDifferent = previouws == null || verifyIfDifferentLog(current, previous);

        if (isDifferent) {
            previous = current;
        }
        return isDifferent;
    }

    private boolean verifyIfDifferentLog(Log current, Log previous) {
        return !current.getId().equals(previous.getId());
    }

}
