Java 8 streams are very expressive – even if RxJava is even more 😉 – but sometimes EE integration is not that advanced. In case of a batch import of data it would be handy to use Stream API since we iterate over data to persist them but how to ensure we can use chunking – ie get a commit interval to not commit for each record?
For batch tasks it is quite common to need to browse a full table. Depending the table it can be done in memory without thinking much or it can be too big and needs pagination.
A common solution was to use a kind of PageResult object which was representing the current page and its index and let the client/caller iterating over PageResults.
With java 8 streams the API can be more concise and efficient.
JavaEE 7 brings an API for JSON arrays (the surprising JsonArray ;)), Java 8 brings a stream API and lambdas so now you can combine both to create a JsonArray from a Collection!
