我做了一个通用版本:

private <T, R> Collector<T, ?, Stream<T>> distinctByKey(Function<T, R> keyExtractor) {
    return Collectors.collectingAndThen(
            toMap(
                    keyExtractor,
                    t -> t,
                    (t1, t2) -> t1
            ),
            (Map<R, T> map) -> map.values().stream()
    );
}

每年的例子:

Stream.of(new Person("Jean"), 
          new Person("Jean"),
          new Person("Paul")
)
    .filter(...)
    .collect(distinctByKey(Person::getName)) // return a stream of Person with 2 elements, jean and Paul
    .map(...)
    .collect(toList())

您可以在Eclipse Collections中使用distinct(HashingStrategy)方法。

List<Person> persons = ...;
MutableList<Person> distinct =
    ListIterate.distinct(persons, HashingStrategies.fromFunction(Person::getName));

如果可以重构人员以实现Eclipse Collections接口，则可以直接调用列表上的方法。

MutableList<Person> persons = ...;
MutableList<Person> distinct =
    persons.distinct(HashingStrategies.fromFunction(Person::getName));

HashingStrategy只是一个策略接口，允许您定义equals和hashcode的自定义实现。

public interface HashingStrategy<E>
{
    int computeHashCode(E object);
    boolean equals(E object1, E object2);
}

注意:我是Eclipse Collections的提交者。

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;
    }
}

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));

}

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())

你能写的最简单的代码:

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