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());
    }

}

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?)

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()));

我遇到了一种情况，我应该根据2个键从列表中获得不同的元素。 如果您希望基于两个键或组合键进行区分，请尝试此操作

class Person{
    int rollno;
    String name;
}
List<Person> personList;


Function<Person, List<Object>> compositeKey = personList->
        Arrays.<Object>asList(personList.getName(), personList.getRollno());

Map<Object, List<Person>> map = personList.stream().collect(Collectors.groupingBy(compositeKey, Collectors.toList()));

List<Object> duplicateEntrys = map.entrySet().stream()`enter code here`
        .filter(settingMap ->
                settingMap.getValue().size() > 1)
        .collect(Collectors.toList());

虽然迟到了，但我有时会用这句俏皮话作为等效:

((Function<Value, Key>) Value::getKey).andThen(new HashSet<>()::add)::apply

表达式是Predicate<Value>，但由于映射是内联的，所以它作为过滤器工作。这当然可读性较差，但有时避免使用这种方法是有帮助的。
