While streams are not collections for element storage (unlike data structures), they are abstractions of (immutable) function collections. Thus, although pointers to stream locations to retrieve elements is not realized, functions for performing data operations can be specified, transforming streams and their origin streams.\n  \nStreams are still commonly used today, as they are highly readable and processor efficient (streams evaluate only when they are computed, and can optimize multi-core processors).\n  \n\u003chr /\u003e\n  \n## 2. \u003ca name=\"one\"\u003eMistake #1: Utilizing Streams with Non-Complex Iterations\u003c/a\u003e\n  \nInstead of:\n  \n```\nList\u003cString\u003e firstNames = Arrays.asList(\"Tyler\", \"Barry\", \"Sophia\");\nfirstNames.forEach(System.out::println);\n```\n  \nRestrict stream usage to more complex tasks, such as reducing, mapping, and filtering.\n  \n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 3. \u003ca name=\"two\"\u003eMistake #2: Omitting .close() Method for Stream Sources\u003c/a\u003e\n  \n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 4. \u003ca name=\"three\"\u003eMistake #3: Improper Handling of Terminal/Console Operations\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 5. \u003ca name=\"four\"\u003eMistake #4: Too Many Parallel Streams\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003cem\u003eOveruse of ```.parallel()``` calls for input and output handling can result in performance degradation.\u003c/em\u003e\n  \nBest Practice: Reserve use of parallel streams for more intensive CPU-bound jobs.\n  \n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 6. \u003ca name=\"five\"\u003eMistake #5: Modifying External Variable State\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 7. \u003ca name=\"six\"\u003eMistake #6: Null Values in Streams Not Being Handled\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 8. \u003ca name=\"seven\"\u003eMistake #7: Suboptimal Implementation of Intermediate Operations\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 9. \u003ca name=\"eight\"\u003eMistake #8: .collect() Improperly Utilized for Mutable Reduction Scenarios\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 10. \u003ca name=\"nine\"\u003eMistake #9: Forgetting to Utilize sorted() Method with limit()\u003c/a\u003e\n  \n\u003chr /\u003e\n\n## 11. \u003ca name=\"ten\"\u003eMistake #10: Overlooking 'Optional' with the findAny() and findFirst() Methods\u003c/a\u003e\n  \n\u003chr /\u003e\n  \n## 12. \u003ca name=\"supplemental\"\u003eSupplemental Resources\u003c/a\u003e\n  \n* *[Stream Documentation from Official Java Platform SE 8 API](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/stream/Stream.html)*\n* *[Java Clean Coding Guide](https://github.com/chaseofthejungle/java-clean-coding-guide)*  \n* *[Java Quick Reference Guide](https://github.com/chaseofthejungle/java-quick-reference-guide)*\n  \n\u003chr /\u003e\n  \nTODO: Overview of 10 common Java stream errors, and how to resolve them with refined code.  \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fchaseofthejungle%2Fjava-streams-troubleshooting-guide","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fchaseofthejungle%2Fjava-streams-troubleshooting-guide","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fchaseofthejungle%2Fjava-streams-troubleshooting-guide/lists"}
