A sequence of elements supporting sequential and parallel aggregate operations. The following example illustrates an aggregate operation using Stream and IntStream:
int sum = widgets.stream()
.filter(w -> w.getColor() == RED)
.mapToInt(w -> w.getWeight())
.sum();
In this example, widgets is a Collection<Widget>. We create a stream of Widget objects via Collection.stream(), filter it to produce a stream containing only the red widgets, and then transform it into a stream of int values representing the weight of each red widget. Then this stream is summed to produce a total weight.
In addition to Stream, which is a stream of object references, there are primitive specializations for IntStream, LongStream, and DoubleStream, all of which are referred to as "streams" and conform to the characteristics and restrictions described here.
To perform a computation, stream operations are composed into a stream pipeline. A stream pipeline consists of a source (which might be an array, a collection, a generator function, an I/O channel, etc), zero or more intermediate operations (which transform a stream into another stream, such as filter(Predicate)), and a terminal operation (which produces a result or side-effect, such as count() or forEach(Consumer)). Streams are lazy; computation on the source data is only performed when the terminal operation is initiated, and source elements are consumed only as needed.
Collections and streams, while bearing some superficial similarities, have different goals. Collections are primarily concerned with the efficient management of, and access to, their elements. By contrast, streams do not provide a means to directly access or manipulate their elements, and are instead concerned with declaratively describing their source and the computational operations which will be performed in aggregate on that source. However, if the provided stream operations do not offer the desired functionality, the BaseStream.iterator() and BaseStream.spliterator() operations can be used to perform a controlled traversal.
A stream pipeline, like the "widgets" example above, can be viewed as a query on the stream source. Unless the source was explicitly designed for concurrent modification (such as a ConcurrentHashMap), unpredictable or erroneous behavior may result from modifying the stream source while it is being queried.
Most stream operations accept parameters that describe user-specified behavior, such as the lambda expression w -> w.getWeight() passed to mapToInt in the example above. To preserve correct behavior, these behavioral parameters:
must be non-interfering (they do not modify the stream source); and in most cases must be stateless (their result should not depend on any state that might change during execution of the stream pipeline).
Such parameters are always instances of a functional interface such as Function, and are often lambda expressions or method references. Unless otherwise specified these parameters must be non-null.
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. A stream implementation may throw IllegalStateException if it detects that the stream is being reused. However, since some stream operations may return their receiver rather than a new stream object, it may not be possible to detect reuse in all cases.
Streams have a BaseStream.close() method and implement AutoCloseable, but nearly all stream instances do not actually need to be closed after use. Generally, only streams whose source is an IO channel (such as those returned by Files.lines(Path, Charset)) will require closing. Most streams are backed by collections, arrays, or generating functions, which require no special resource management. (If a stream does require closing, it can be declared as a resource in a try-with-resources statement.)
Stream pipelines may execute either sequentially or in parallel. This execution mode is a property of the stream. Streams are created with an initial choice of sequential or parallel execution. (For example, Collection.stream() creates a sequential stream, and Collection.parallelStream() creates a parallel one.) This choice of execution mode may be modified by the BaseStream.sequential() or BaseStream.parallel() methods, and may be queried with the BaseStream.isParallel() method.

The identity value must be an identity for the combiner function. This means that for all u, combiner(identity, u) is equal to u. Additionally, the combiner function must be compatible with the accumulator function; for all u and t, the following must hold:
combiner.apply(u, accumulator.apply(identity, t)) == accumulator.apply(u, t)
This is a terminal operation.
identity - the identity value for the combiner function - U
accumulator - an associative, non-interfering, stateless function for incorporating an additional element into a result - java.util.function.BiFunction
combiner - an associative, non-interfering, stateless function for combining two values, which must be compatible with the accumulator function - java.util.function.BinaryOperator
returns: the result of the reduction - <U> U
Performs a reduction on the elements of this stream, using the provided identity, accumulation and combining functions. This is equivalent to: U result = identity; for (T element : this stream) result = accumulator.apply(result, element) return result; but is not constrained to execute sequentially. The identity value must be an identity for the combiner function. This means that for all u, combiner(identity, u) is equal to u. Additionally, the combiner function must be compatible with the accumulator function; for all u and t, the following must hold: combiner.apply(u, accumulator.apply(identity, t)) == accumulator.apply(u, t) This is a terminal operation. identity - the identity value for the combiner function - `U` accumulator - an associative, non-interfering, stateless function for incorporating an additional element into a result - `java.util.function.BiFunction` combiner - an associative, non-interfering, stateless function for combining two values, which must be compatible with the accumulator function - `java.util.function.BinaryOperator` returns: the result of the reduction - `<U> U`
(skip this n)
Returns a stream consisting of the remaining elements of this stream after discarding the first n elements of the stream. If this stream contains fewer than n elements then an empty stream will be returned.
This is a stateful intermediate operation.
n - the number of leading elements to skip - long
returns: the new stream - java.util.stream.Stream<T>
throws: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if n is negative
Returns a stream consisting of the remaining elements of this stream after discarding the first n elements of the stream. If this stream contains fewer than n elements then an empty stream will be returned. This is a stateful intermediate operation. n - the number of leading elements to skip - `long` returns: the new stream - `java.util.stream.Stream<T>` throws: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if n is negative
(sorted this)
(sorted this comparator)
Returns a stream consisting of the elements of this stream, sorted according to the provided Comparator.
For ordered streams, the sort is stable. For unordered streams, no stability guarantees are made.
This is a stateful intermediate operation.
comparator - a non-interfering, stateless Comparator to be used to compare stream elements - java.util.Comparator
returns: the new stream - java.util.stream.Stream<T>
Returns a stream consisting of the elements of this stream, sorted according to the provided Comparator. For ordered streams, the sort is stable. For unordered streams, no stability guarantees are made. This is a stateful intermediate operation. comparator - a non-interfering, stateless Comparator to be used to compare stream elements - `java.util.Comparator` returns: the new stream - `java.util.stream.Stream<T>`
(to-array this)
(to-array this generator)
Returns an array containing the elements of this stream, using the provided generator function to allocate the returned array, as well as any additional arrays that might be required for a partitioned execution or for resizing.
This is a terminal operation.
generator - a function which produces a new array of the desired type and the provided length - java.util.function.IntFunction
returns: an array containing the elements in this stream - <A> A[]
throws: java.lang.ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the array returned from the array generator is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this stream
Returns an array containing the elements of this stream, using the provided generator function to allocate the returned array, as well as any additional arrays that might be required for a partitioned execution or for resizing. This is a terminal operation. generator - a function which produces a new array of the desired type and the provided length - `java.util.function.IntFunction` returns: an array containing the elements in this stream - `<A> A[]` throws: java.lang.ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the array returned from the array generator is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this stream
