鉴于您已经说过您的两个列表已经排序,它们可以在 O(N) 时间内进行比较,这比您当前使用 ListUtils 的解决方案要快得多。以下方法使用与合并大多数教科书中可以找到的两个排序列表的算法类似的算法来执行此操作。
import java.util.*;
public class CompareSortedLists {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Integer> sourceDbResults = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8);
List<Integer> hiveResults = Arrays.asList(2, 3, 6, 7);
List<Integer> inSourceDb_notInHive = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> inHive_notInSourceDb = new ArrayList<>();
compareSortedLists(
sourceDbResults, hiveResults,
inSourceDb_notInHive, inHive_notInSourceDb);
assert inSourceDb_notInHive.equals(Arrays.asList(1, 4, 5, 8));
assert inHive_notInSourceDb.equals(Arrays.asList(6, 7));
}
/**
* Compares two sorted lists (or other iterable collections in ascending order).
* Adds to onlyInList1 any and all elements in list1 that are not in list2; and
* conversely to onlyInList2. The caller must ensure the two input lists are
* already sorted and should initialize onlyInList1 and onlyInList2 to empty,
* writable collections.
*/
public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void compareSortedLists(
Iterable<T> list1, Iterable<T> list2,
Collection<T> onlyInList1, Collection<T> onlyInList2) {
Iterator<T> it1 = list1.iterator();
Iterator<T> it2 = list2.iterator();
T e1 = it1.hasNext() ? it1.next() : null;
T e2 = it2.hasNext() ? it2.next() : null;
while (e1 != null || e2 != null) {
if (e2 == null) { // No more elements in list2, some remaining in list1
onlyInList1.add(e1);
e1 = it1.hasNext() ? it1.next() : null;
}
else if (e1 == null) { // No more elements in list1, some remaining in list2
onlyInList2.add(e2);
e2 = it2.hasNext() ? it2.next() : null;
}
else {
int comp = e1.compareTo(e2);
if (comp < 0) {
onlyInList1.add(e1);
e1 = it1.hasNext() ? it1.next() : null;
}
else if (comp > 0) {
onlyInList2.add(e2);
e2 = it2.hasNext() ? it2.next() : null;
}
else /* comp == 0 */ {
e1 = it1.hasNext() ? it1.next() : null;
e2 = it2.hasNext() ? it2.next() : null;
}
}
}
}
}
上述方法不使用外部库,可用于Java 6 以上的任何版本。如果您使用 PeekingIterator,例如来自 Apache Commons Collections 的 PeekingIterator 或 Guava,或者自己编写,那么您可以使方法更简单,特别是如果您还使用 Java 8:
public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void compareSortedLists(
Iterable<T> list1, Iterable<T> list2,
Collection<T> onlyInList1, Collection<T> onlyInList2) {
PeekingIterator<T> it1 = new PeekingIterator<>(list1.iterator());
PeekingIterator<T> it2 = new PeekingIterator<>(list2.iterator());
while (it1.hasNext() && it2.hasNext()) {
int comp = it1.peek().compareTo(it2.peek());
if (comp < 0)
onlyInList1.add(it1.next());
else if (comp > 0)
onlyInList2.add(it2.next());
else /* comp == 0 */ {
it1.next();
it2.next();
}
}
it1.forEachRemaining(onlyInList1::add);
it2.forEachRemaining(onlyInList2::add);
}
