Performing an intermediate sorted bulk operation on a Java stream
I have Java Stream
objects like this:
{ 1, 2 } { 1, 6 } { 2, 3 } { 3, 10 } { 3, 12 } { 3, 20 }
These tuples are guaranteed to be ordered by their first element. I want to convert this stream to another stream of tuples, for example:
{ 1, [2, 6] } { 2, [3] } { 3, [10, 12, 20] }
But, here's the key, I want it to be an intermediate operation - I don't have to evaluate the entire first stream to output each group, because the tuples are already ordered as needed. I want something like an intermediate collector, but I cannot find a way to do this in the streaming API.
Can anyone think of this without looping through the whole stream?
