There are two sets of collectors that use grouping—similar to the group by functionality of SQL statements—to present stream data as a Map object. The first set includes three overloaded groupingBy() factory methods:
- Collector<T, ?, Map<K,List<T>>> groupingBy(Function<T,K> classifier): Creates a Collector object that collects the stream elements of the T type into a Map<K,List<T>> object using the provided classifier function to map the current element to the key in the resulting map.
- Collector<T,?,Map<K,D>> groupingBy(Function<T,K> classifier, Collector<T,A,D> downstream): Creates a Collector object that collects the stream elements of the T type into a Map<K,D> object using the provided classifier function to map the current ...
