Collector
that implement various useful reduction
operations, such as accumulating elements into collections, summarizing
elements according to various criteria, etc.
The following are examples of using the predefined collectors to perform common mutable reduction tasks:
// Accumulate names into a List
List<String> list = people.stream()
.map(Person::getName)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
// Accumulate names into a TreeSet
Set<String> set = people.stream()
.map(Person::getName)
.collect(Collectors.toCollection(TreeSet::new));
// Convert elements to strings and concatenate them, separated by commas
String joined = things.stream()
.map(Object::toString)
.collect(Collectors.joining(", "));
// Compute sum of salaries of employee
int total = employees.stream()
.collect(Collectors.summingInt(Employee::getSalary));
// Group employees by department
Map<Department, List<Employee>> byDept = employees.stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment));
// Compute sum of salaries by department
Map<Department, Integer> totalByDept = employees.stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment,
Collectors.summingInt(Employee::getSalary)));
// Partition students into passing and failing
Map<Boolean, List<Student>> passingFailing = students.stream()
.collect(Collectors.partitioningBy(s -> s.getGrade() >= PASS_THRESHOLD));

.- API Note:
- The
filtering()
collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, such as downstream of agroupingBy

A filtering collector differs from a stream'sMap<Department, Set<Employee>> wellPaidEmployeesByDepartment = employees.stream().collect( groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment, filtering(e -> e.getSalary() > 2000, toSet())));
filter()
operation. In this example, suppose there are no employees whose salary is above the threshold in some department. Using a filtering collector as shown above would result in a mapping from that department to an emptySet

If no elements are present, the result is 0.The sum returned can vary depending upon the order in which values are recorded, due to accumulated rounding error in addition of values of differing magnitudes. Values sorted by increasing absolute magnitude tend to yield more accurate results. If any recorded value is a
NaN

then the sum will beNaN

mapper
- a function extracting the property to be summed- Returns:

Collector

-
averagingDouble
Returns aCollector
that produces the arithmetic mean of a double-valued function applied to the input elements. If no elements are present, the result is 0.The average returned can vary depending upon the order in which values are recorded, due to accumulated rounding error in addition of values of differing magnitudes. Values sorted by increasing absolute magnitude tend to yield more accurate results. If any recorded value is a
NaN
or the sum is at any point aNaN
then the average will beNaN
.- Implementation Note:
- The
double
format can represent all consecutive integers in the range -253 to 253. If the pipeline has more than 253 values, the divisor in the average computation will saturate at 253, leading to additional numerical errors. - Type Parameters:

- a
Collector
that produces the arithmetic mean of a derived property

implementing a "group by" operation on input elements of typeT
, grouping elements according to a classification function.This is a
concurrent
andunordered
Collector.The classification function maps elements to some key type
K
. The collector produces aConcurrentMap<K, List<T>>
whose keys are the values resulting from applying the classification function to the input elements, and whose corresponding values areList
s containing the input elements which map to the associated key under the classification function.There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, or serializability of the
ConcurrentMap
orList
objects returned, or of the thread-safety of theList
objects returned.- Implementation Requirements:
- This produces a result similar to:
groupingByConcurrent(classifier, toList());

which partitions the input elements according to aPredicate
, and organizes them into aMap<Boolean, List<T>>
. The returnedMap

- the type of the input elements- Parameters:
predicate
- a predicate used for classifying input elements- Returns:
- a
Collector

partitioningBy
public static <T,D, Collector<T,A> ?, partitioningByMap<Boolean, D>> (Predicate<? super T> predicate, Collector<? super T, A, D> downstream) Returns aCollector
which partitions the input elements according to aPredicate
, reduces the values in each partition according to anotherCollector
, and organizes them into aMap<Boolean, D>
whose values are the result of the downstream reduction.The returned
Map
always contains mappings for bothfalse
andtrue
keys. There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of theMap
returned.- API Note:
- If a partition has no elements, its value in the result Map will be obtained by calling the downstream collector's supplier function and then applying the finisher function.
- Type Parameters:

- the result type of the downstream reductionA
- the intermediate accumulation type of the downstream collector- Parameters:
predicate

toMap
public static <T,K, Collector<T,U> ?, toMapMap<K, U>> (Function<? super T, ? extends K> keyMapper, Function<? super T, ? extends U> valueMapper) Returns aCollector
that accumulates elements into aMap
whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.If the mapped keys contain duplicates (according to
Object.equals(Object)
), anIllegalStateException
is thrown when the collection operation is performed. If the mapped keys might have duplicates, usetoMap(Function, Function, BinaryOperator)
instead.There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the
Map
returned.- API Note:
- It is common for either the key or the value to be the input elements.
In this case, the utility method
Function.identity()
may be helpful. For example, the following produces aMap
mapping students to their grade point average:
And the following produces aMap<Student, Double> studentToGPA = students.stream().collect( toMap(Function.identity(), student -> computeGPA(student)));
Map
mapping a unique identifier to students:Map<String, Student> studentIdToStudent = students.stream().collect( toMap(Student::getId, Function.identity()));
- Implementation Note:
- The returned
Collector
is not concurrent. For parallel stream pipelines, thecombiner
function operates by merging the keys from one map into another, which can be an expensive operation. If it is not required that results are inserted into theMap
in encounter order, usingtoConcurrentMap(Function, Function)
may offer better parallel performance. - Type Parameters:
T
- the type of the input elementsK
- the output type of the key mapping functionU
- the output type of the value mapping function- Parameters:
keyMapper
- a mapping function to produce keysvalueMapper
- a mapping function to produce values- Returns:
- a

that accumulates the input elements into an unmodifiable Map, whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.If the mapped keys contain duplicates (according to
Object.equals(Object)
), anIllegalStateException
is thrown when the collection operation is performed. If the mapped keys might have duplicates, usetoUnmodifiableMap(Function, Function, BinaryOperator)
to handle merging of the values.The returned Collector disallows null keys and values. If either mapping function returns null,
NullPointerException
will be thrown.- Type Parameters:
T
- the type of the input elementsK

- the output type of the value mapping function- Parameters:

that accumulates elements into aMap
whose keys and values are the result of applying the provided mapping functions to the input elements.If the mapped keys contain duplicates (according to
Object.equals(Object)
), the value mapping function is applied to each equal element, and the results are merged using the provided merging function.There are no guarantees on the type, mutability, serializability, or thread-safety of the
Map
returned.- API Note:
- There are multiple ways to deal with collisions between multiple elements
mapping to the same key. The other forms of
toMap
simply use a merge function that throws unconditionally, but you can easily write more flexible merge policies. For example, if you have a stream ofPerson
, and you want to produce a "phone book" mapping name to address, but it is possible that two persons have the same name, you can do as follows to gracefully deal with these collisions, and produce aMap
mapping names to a concatenated list of addresses:Map<String, String> phoneBook = people.stream().collect( toMap(Person::getName, Person::getAddress, (s, a) -> s + ", " + a));
