How to Merge the Duplicate Values and its Keys present in the HashMap

HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
HashMap<String, String> newMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("A","1");
map.put("B","2");
map.put("C","2");
map.put("D","1");
Expected Output: "AD", "1" and "BC", "2" present inside the newMap which means, if the data values were same it needs combine its keys to have only one data value by combining its keys inside the newMap created how to achieve this in Java?

You want to group by the "integer" value using Collectors.groupingBy and collect the former keys as a new value. By default, grouping yields in List. You can further use downstream collector Collectors.mapping and another downstream collector Collectors.reducing to map and concatenate the individual items (values) as a single String.
Map<String, String> groupedMap = map.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(
Map.Entry::getValue,
Collectors.mapping(
Map.Entry::getKey,
Collectors.reducing("", (l, r) -> l + r))));
{1=AD, 2=BC}
Now, you can switch keys with values for the final result, though I really think you finally need what is already in the groupedMap as further processing might cause an error on duplicated keys:
Map<String, String> newMap = groupedMap.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(
Map.Entry::getValue,
Map.Entry::getKey));
{BC=2, AD=1}
It is possible, put it all together using Collectors.collectingAndThen (matter of taste):
Map<String, String> newMap = map.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.collectingAndThen(
Collectors.groupingBy(
Map.Entry::getValue,
Collectors.mapping(
Map.Entry::getKey,
Collectors.reducing("", (l, r) -> l + r))),
m -> m.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(
Map.Entry::getValue,
Map.Entry::getKey))));

Based on logic:
Loop through your map
For each value, get the corresponding key from the new map (based on the value)
If the new map key exists, remove it and put it again with the extra letter at the end
If not exists, just put it without any concatenation.
for (var entry : map.entrySet())
{
String newMapKey = getKey(newMap, entry.getValue());
if (newMapKey != null)
{
newMap.remove(newMapKey);
newMap.put(newMapKey + entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
continue;
}
newMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
The extra method:
private static String getKey(HashMap<String, String> map, String value)
{
for (String key : map.keySet())
if (value.equals(map.get(key)))
return key;
return null;
}
{BC=2, AD=1}

Using Java 8
You can try the below approach in order to get the desired result.
Code:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
Map<String, String> newMap;
map.put("A","1");
map.put("B","2");
map.put("C","2");
map.put("D","1");
Map<String, String> tempMap = map.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Map.Entry::getValue,
Collectors.mapping(Map.Entry::getKey,Collectors.joining(""))));
newMap = tempMap.entrySet().stream().sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue())
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getValue, Map.Entry::getKey,(a,b) -> a, LinkedHashMap::new));
System.out.println(newMap);
}
}
Output:
{AD=1, BC=2}

If you want the keys of the source map to be concatenated in alphabetical order like in your example "AD", "BC" (and not "DA" or "CB"), then you can ensure that by creating an intermediate map of type Map<String,List<String>> associating each distinct value in the source map with a List of keys. Then sort each list and generate a string from it.
That how it might be implemented:
Map<String, String> map = Map.of(
"A", "1", "B", "2","C", "2","D", "1"
);
Map<String, String> newMap = map.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy( // intermediate Map<String, List<String>>
Map.Entry::getValue,
Collectors.mapping(Map.Entry::getKey, Collectors.toList())
))
.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(
e -> e.getValue().stream().sorted().collect(Collectors.joining()),
Map.Entry::getKey
));
newMap.forEach((k, v) -> System.out.println(k + " -> " + v));
Output:
BC -> 2
AD -> 1

Efficient way to iterate and copy the values of HashMap

I want to convert:
Map<String, Map<String, List<Map<String, String>>>> inputMap
to:
Map<String, Map<String, CustomObject>> customMap
inputMap is provided in the config and is ready but I need to customMap Format. CustomObject will be derived from List<Map<String, String>> using few lines of code in a function.
I have tried a normal way of iterating input map and copying key values in customMap. Is there any efficient way of doing that using Java 8 or some other shortcut?
Map<String, Map<String, List<Map<String, String>>>> configuredMap = new HashMap<>();
Map<String, Map<String, CustomObj>> finalMap = new HashMap<>();
for (Map.Entry<String, Map<String, List<Map<String, String>>>> attributeEntry : configuredMap.entrySet()) {
Map<String, CustomObj> innerMap = new HashMap<>();
for (Map.Entry<String, List<Map<String, String>>> valueEntry : attributeEntry.getValue().entrySet()) {
innerMap.put(valueEntry.getKey(), getCustomeObj(valueEntry.getValue()));
}
finalMap.put(attributeEntry.getKey(), innerMap);
}
private CustomObj getCustomeObj(List<Map<String, String>> list) {
return new CustomObj();
}

One solution is to stream the entrySet of inputMap, and then use Collectors#toMap twice (once for the outer Map, and once for the inner Map):
Map<String, Map<String, CustomObj>> customMap = inputMap.entrySet()
.stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Function.identity(), entry -> {
return entry.getValue()
.entrySet()
.stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Function.identity(),
entry -> getCustomeObj(entry.getValue())));
}));

You could stream, but that ain't going to look readable; at least to me. So if you have a method:
static CustomObject fun(List<Map<String, String>> in) {
return .... // whatever processing you have here
}
you could still use the java-8 syntax, but in a different form:
Map<String, Map<String, CustomObject>> customMap = new HashMap<>();
inputMap.forEach((key, value) -> {
value.forEach((innerKey, listOfMaps) -> {
Map<String, CustomObject> innerMap = new HashMap<>();
innerMap.put(innerKey, fun(listOfMaps));
customMap.put(key, innerMap);
});
});
If you can make the inner map immutable, you could make that even shorter:
inputMap.forEach((key, value) -> {
value.forEach((innerKey, listOfMaps) -> {
customMap.put(key, Collections.singletonMap(innerKey, fun(listOfMaps)));
});
});

IMHO streaming is not so bad idea. There're no bad tools. It depends on how you're using them.
In this particular case I would extract the repeating pattern into an utility method:
public static <K, V1, V2> Map<K, V2> transformValues(Map<K, V1> map, Function<V1, V2> transformer) {
return map.entrySet()
.stream()
.collect(toMap(Entry::getKey, e -> transformer.apply(e.getValue())));
}
The method above can be implemented using any approach, though I think Stream API fits pretty well here.
Once you defined the utility method, it can be used as simple as follows:
Map<String, Map<String, CustomObj>> customMap =
transformValues(inputMap, attr -> transformValues(attr, this::getCustomObj));
The actual transformation is effectively one liner. So with proper JavaDoc for transformValues method the result code is pretty readable and maintainable.

How about Collectors.toMap for the entries both at an outer and inner level such as:
Map<String, Map<String, CustomObj>> finalMap = configuredMap.entrySet()
.stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getKey,
attributeEntry -> attributeEntry.getValue().entrySet()
.stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getKey,
valueEntry -> getCustomeObj(valueEntry.getValue())))));

map of map get outer map based on inner map value

How do I write below code using Java8?
for (Entry<Integer, Map<String, Object>> entry : data.entrySet()) {
Map<String, Object> value = entry.getValue();
if (value.get(Constants.USER_TRAN_ID).equals(stsTxn.getSeedTrade().getTransactionId())) {
closedTaxLotByTxnId = value;
break;
}
}
I am clueless after this
data.values().stream().map(e -> e.get(Constants.USER_TRAN_ID)).filter(txnId -> txnId.equals(stsTxn.getSeedTrade().getTransactionId()));

You don't need map. Just use filter with your criteria, and findFirst as terminal operation:
Optional<Map<String, Object>>
value = data.values()
.stream()
.filter(m -> m.get(Constants.USER_TRAN_ID).equals(stsTxn.getSeedTrade().getTransactionId()))
.findFirst();
If you want a default value (such as null) when no match is found, use:
Map<String, Object> closedTaxLotByTxnId =
data.values()
.stream()
.filter(m -> m.get(Constants.USER_TRAN_ID).equals(stsTxn.getSeedTrade().getTransactionId()))
.findFirst()
.orElse(null);

How to group by keys of stream of pairs

Say that I have the following stream:
...
import javafx.util.Pair;
...
Pair[] testPairs = {
new Pair<>("apple", "James"),
new Pair<>("banana", "John"),
new Pair<>("grapes", "Tom"),
new Pair<>("apple", "Jenkins"),
new Pair<>("banana", "Edward"),
new Pair<>("grapes", "Pierre")
};
Map<String, List<String>> result1 = Arrays.stream(testPairs)...;
Map<String, String> result2 = Arrays.stream(testPairs)...;
For result1, I want to group by keys of the pairs and get all the correspondant names.
For result2, I want to group by keys and get whichever in the list of strings (of the previous result).
How is it possible to achieve that by using java 8 stream api ?

You may do it like so,
Map<String, List<String>> result1 = Arrays.stream(testPairs)
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Pair::getS,
Collectors.mapping(Pair::getT, Collectors.toList())));
Map<String, String> result2 = Arrays.stream(testPairs)
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Pair::getS, Pair::getT, (v1, v2) -> v1));
If you are using row types with arrays, here's the version with the necessary casts as specified by the below comment by YCF_L.
Map<String, List<String>> result1 = Arrays.stream(testPairs)
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(p -> (String) p.getKey(),
Collectors.mapping(p -> (String) p.getValue(), Collectors.toList())));
Map<String, String> result2 = Arrays.stream(testPairs)
.collect(Collectors.toMap(
p -> (String) p.getKey(),
p -> (String) p.getValue(),
(a, b) -> b)
);
}

How to filter, using stream, Map<String, Object> by List<String> which contains keys

I have Map<String, Object> which has to be become Map<String, String>. Filtering should be done by List<String>.
That list contains keys of map elements that should be in new map.
For this I need to use streams.
Map<String, Object> oldMap;
List<String> keysForFiltering;
Map<String, String> newMap;

It would be more efficient if the filter would operate on a Set of keys instead of a List of keys, since searching a Set is more efficient than searching a List.
Map<String, String> newMap =
oldMap.entrySet()
.stream()
.filter(e -> keysForFiltering.contains(e.getKey()))
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getKey,
e -> e.getValue().toString()));

since you have a map then you can get the stream of that and use a custom predicate, that predicate need to check if the Entry.key is present in your list or not
Map<String, String> myMap = new HashMap<>();
myMap.put("A", "fortran");
myMap.put("B", "java");
myMap.put("C", "c++");
myMap.put("D", "php");
List<String> keysForFiltering = Arrays.asList("A", "C");
Predicate<Entry<String, String>> myPredicate = t -> keysForFiltering.contains(t.getKey());
Map<String, String> filteredMap = myMap
.entrySet().stream().filter(myPredicate)
.collect(Collectors.toMap(p -> p.getKey(), p -> p.getValue()));
System.out.println(filteredMap);
