Can you split a stream into two streams?

问题


I have a data set represented by a Java 8 stream:

Stream<T> stream = ...;

I can see how to filter it to get a random subset - for example

Random r = new Random();
PrimitiveIterator.OfInt coin = r.ints(0, 2).iterator();   
Stream<T> heads = stream.filter((x) -> (coin.nextInt() == 0));

I can also see how I could reduce this stream to get, for example, two lists representing two random halves of the data set, and then turn those back into streams. But, is there a direct way to generate two streams from the initial one? Something like

(heads, tails) = stream.[some kind of split based on filter]

Thanks for any insight.


回答1:


Not exactly. You can't get two Streams out of one; this doesn't make sense -- how would you iterate over one without needing to generate the other at the same time? A stream can only be operated over once.

However, if you want to dump them into a list or something, you could do

stream.forEach((x) -> ((x == 0) ? heads : tails).add(x));

A collector can be used for this.

  • For two categories, use Collectors.partitioningBy() factory.

This will create a Map from Boolean to List, and put items in one or the other list based on a Predicate.

Note: Since the stream needs to be consumed whole, this can't work on infinite streams. Because the stream is consumed anyway, this method simply puts them in Lists instead of making a new stream-with-memory.

Also, no need for the iterator, not even in the heads-only example you provided.

Random r = new Random();

Map<Boolean, List<String>> groups = stream
    .collect(Collectors.partitioningBy(x -> r.nextBoolean()));

System.out.println(groups.get(false).size());
System.out.println(groups.get(true).size());
  • For more categories, use a Collectors.groupingBy() factory.
Map<Object, List<String>> groups = stream
    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(x -> r.nextInt(3)));
System.out.println(groups.get(0).size());
System.out.println(groups.get(1).size());
System.out.println(groups.get(2).size());

In case the streams are not Stream, but one of the primitive streams like IntStream, then this .collect(Collectors) method is not available. You'll have to do it the manual way without a collector factory. It's implementation looks like this:

IntStream intStream = IntStream.iterate(0, i -> i + 1).limit(1000000);

Predicate<Integer> p = x -> r.nextBoolean();
Map<Boolean, List<Integer>> groups = intStream.collect(() -> {
    Map<Boolean, List<Integer>> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put(false, new ArrayList<>());
    map.put(true, new ArrayList<>());
    return map;
}, (map, x) -> {
    boolean partition = p.test(x);
    List<Integer> list = map.get(partition);
    list.add(x);
}, (map1, map2) -> {
    map1.get(false).addAll(map2.get(false));
    map1.get(true).addAll(map2.get(true));
});

System.out.println(groups.get(false).size());
System.out.println(groups.get(true).size());

Edit

As pointed out, the above 'workaround' is not thread safe. Converting to a normal Stream before collecting is the way to go:

Stream<Integer> stream = intStream.boxed();

Unfortunately, what you ask for is directly frowned upon in the JavaDoc of Stream:

A stream should be operated on (invoking an intermediate or terminal stream operation) only once. This rules out, for example, "forked" streams, where the same source feeds two or more pipelines, or multiple traversals of the same stream.

You can work around this using peek or other methods should you truly desire that type of behaviour. In this case, what you should do is instead of trying to back two streams from the same original Stream source with a forking filter, you would duplicate your stream and filter each of the duplicates appropriately.

However, you may wish to reconsider if a Stream is the appropriate structure for your use case.

I stumbled across this question to my self and I feel that a forked stream has some use cases that could prove valid. I wrote the code below as a consumer so that it does not do anything but you could apply it to functions and anything else you might come across.

class PredicateSplitterConsumer<T> implements Consumer<T>
{
  private Predicate<T> predicate;
  private Consumer<T>  positiveConsumer;
  private Consumer<T>  negativeConsumer;

  public PredicateSplitterConsumer(Predicate<T> predicate, Consumer<T> positive, Consumer<T> negative)
  {
    this.predicate = predicate;
    this.positiveConsumer = positive;
    this.negativeConsumer = negative;
  }

  @Override
  public void accept(T t)
  {
    if (predicate.test(t))
    {
      positiveConsumer.accept(t);
    }
    else
    {
      negativeConsumer.accept(t);
    }
  }
}

Now your code implementation could be something like this:

personsArray.forEach(
        new PredicateSplitterConsumer<>(
            person -> person.getDateOfBirth().isPresent(),
            person -> System.out.println(person.getName()),
            person -> System.out.println(person.getName() + " does not have Date of birth")));

This is against the general mechanism of Stream. Say you can split Stream S0 to Sa and Sb like you wanted. Performing any terminal operation, say count(), on Sa will necessarily "consume" all elements in S0. Therefore Sb lost its data source.

Previously, Stream had a tee() method, I think, which duplicate a stream to two. It's removed now.

Stream has a peek() method though, you might be able to use it to achieve your requirements.




回答6:


not exactly, but you may be able to accomplish what you need by invoking Collectors.groupingBy(). you create a new Collection, and can then instantiate streams on that new collection.

This was the least bad answer I could come up with.

import org.apache.commons.lang3.tuple.ImmutablePair;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.tuple.Pair;

public class Test {

    public static <T, L, R> Pair<L, R> splitStream(Stream<T> inputStream, Predicate<T> predicate,
            Function<Stream<T>, L> trueStreamProcessor, Function<Stream<T>, R> falseStreamProcessor) {

        Map<Boolean, List<T>> partitioned = inputStream.collect(Collectors.partitioningBy(predicate));
        L trueResult = trueStreamProcessor.apply(partitioned.get(Boolean.TRUE).stream());
        R falseResult = falseStreamProcessor.apply(partitioned.get(Boolean.FALSE).stream());

        return new ImmutablePair<L, R>(trueResult, falseResult);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Stream<Integer> stream = Stream.iterate(0, n -> n + 1).limit(10);

        Pair<List<Integer>, String> results = splitStream(stream,
                n -> n > 5,
                s -> s.filter(n -> n % 2 == 0).collect(Collectors.toList()),
                s -> s.map(n -> n.toString()).collect(Collectors.joining("|")));

        System.out.println(results);
    }

}

This takes a stream of integers and splits them at 5. For those greater than 5 it filters only even numbers and puts them in a list. For the rest it joins them with |.

outputs:

 ([6, 8],0|1|2|3|4|5)

Its not ideal as it collects everything into intermediary collections breaking the stream (and has too many arguments!)

I stumbled across this question while looking for a way to filter certain elements out of a stream and log them as errors. So I did not really need to split the stream so much as attach a premature terminating action to a predicate with unobtrusive syntax. This is what I came up with:

public class MyProcess {
    /* Return a Predicate that performs a bail-out action on non-matching items. */
    private static <T> Predicate<T> withAltAction(Predicate<T> pred, Consumer<T> altAction) {
    return x -> {
        if (pred.test(x)) {
            return true;
        }
        altAction.accept(x);
        return false;
    };

    /* Example usage in non-trivial pipeline */
    public void processItems(Stream<Item> stream) {
        stream.filter(Objects::nonNull)
              .peek(this::logItem)
              .map(Item::getSubItems)
              .filter(withAltAction(SubItem::isValid,
                                    i -> logError(i, "Invalid")))
              .peek(this::logSubItem)
              .filter(withAltAction(i -> i.size() > 10,
                                    i -> logError(i, "Too large")))
              .map(SubItem::toDisplayItem)
              .forEach(this::display);
    }
}

How about:

Supplier<Stream<Integer>> randomIntsStreamSupplier =
    () -> (new Random()).ints(0, 2).boxed();

Stream<Integer> tails =
    randomIntsStreamSupplier.get().filter(x->x.equals(0));
Stream<Integer> heads =
    randomIntsStreamSupplier.get().filter(x->x.equals(1));
