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());

这个解是什么呢?

只有当你的键实现了Equal时它才会起作用大多数基类型都是这样，但它更简单一点。

person.stream()。map(person -> p.getName()).distinct()

我们也可以使用RxJava(非常强大的响应式扩展库)

Observable.from(persons).distinct(Person::getName)

or

Observable.from(persons).distinct(p -> p.getName())

有一种更简单的方法，使用带有自定义比较器的TreeSet。

persons.stream()
    .collect(Collectors.toCollection(
      () -> new TreeSet<Person>((p1, p2) -> p1.getName().compareTo(p2.getName())) 
));

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'}

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());
    }

}
