6:15-7:45: Extending Functional Pipelines with Gatherers

The Stream API has a wealth of methods, like filter, map, takeWhile, limit, and so on, to build functional pipelines. Yet, you may run into situations in your applications that readily do not fall in place to make use of these built-in methods. The new gatherer() function, along with the Gatherer interface, gives you the necessary tools to create your own custom steps in the functional pipeline. In this presentation, learn about the different types of gatherers and how to implement them using practical live-coded examples.
