使用Java流计算项目列表中日期的出现次数

我有一个带有(java.util.)Date属性的项目列表,我想创建一个DataSeriesItem 从最早的日期开始到现在。它适用于带有时间线的图表系列。

DataSeriesItem seriesItem = new DataSeriesItem(Date, occurrenceCount);
在哪里 occurrenceCount 是其Date属性与当天匹配的项目计数。第一个参数也可以是 java.time.Instant

我已经设法找到了一种可行的方法,但我确信我的方法是可行的 非常 坏的,可能用一个流完成,也许两个。然而,我是溪流的初学者,用我的知识做不到这一点。

这可能与流有关吗?可能会是什么样子 大概

以下是我丑陋的解决方案:

List<?> items = myItems;
Collection<Date> foundDates = new HashSet<>();

for (Object item : items) {
    foundDates.add((Date)getPropertyValueFromItem(item, configurator.getDateProperty()));
}

//======  This is the part I am asking about ======//

Map<Instant, Integer> foundInstants = new HashMap<>();
foundDates.stream().sorted(Date::compareTo).forEach(date -> {
    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    c.clear(); // clear nanoseconds, or else equals won't work!
    c.set(date.getYear()+1900, date.getMonth(), date.getDate(), 0, 0, 0);
    if(!foundInstants.containsKey(c.toInstant())){
        foundInstants.put(c.toInstant(), 1);
    } else {
        // increment count of that entry
        Integer value = foundInstants.get(c.toInstant());
        foundInstants.remove(c.toInstant());
        foundInstants.put(c.toInstant(), ++value);
    }
});

//====== Leaving this code here for context ======//  
// Could this maybe simplyfied too by using streams  ?

// find oldest date
Date dateIndex = foundDates.stream().min(Date::compareTo).get();
Date now = new Date();

// starting from oldest date, add a seriesItem for each day until now
// if dateOccurrences contains the current/iterated date, use it's value, else 0
while(dateIndex.before(now)){
    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    c.clear();// clear nanoseconds, or else equals won't work!
    c.set(dateIndex.getYear()+1900, dateIndex.getMonth(), dateIndex.getDate(), 0, 0, 0);

    if(foundInstants.containsKey(c.toInstant())){
        ExtendedDataSeriesItem seriesItem = new ExtendedDataSeriesItem(c.toInstant(), foundInstants.get(c.toInstant()));
        seriesItem.setSeriesType("singleDataPoint");
        series.add(seriesItem);
    } else {
        ExtendedDataSeriesItem seriesItem = new ExtendedDataSeriesItem(c.toInstant(), 0);
        seriesItem.setSeriesType("singleDataPoint");
        series.add(seriesItem);
    }
    c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1); // adding a day is complicated. Calendar gets it right. Date does not. This is why I don't use Date here
    dateIndex = c.getTime();
}
