After some researching in the source code I summarized the following tables:
Taken from: Java streams - Part 6 - Spliterator
The following table showes which operations types are allowed to modify charactersiticts:
| | DISTICTS | SORTED | ORDERED | SIZED | SHORT_CIRCUIT |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ------ | ------- | ----- | --------------|
| source stream | Y | Y | Y | Y | N |
| intermediate operation | PCI | PCI | PCI | PC | PI |
| terminal operation | N | N | PC | N | PI |
- Y - Allowed to have
- P - May preserves
- C - May clears.
- I - May injects.
- N - Not valid; Irelevant for the operation.
Taken from Java streams - Stream methods characteristics table
The following table showes which characteristics and flags each intermediate operation/terminal operation may turns on and off: (SHORT_CIRCUIT is relevent only in the context of StreamOpFlag flags)
Note: P (Preserve) flag is added to every cell except the ones with the C and I (Clear and Inject) flags.
