There is no need to convert Iterable to Collection to use foreach loop - Iterable may be used in such loop directly, there is no syntactical difference, so I hardly understand why the original question was asked at all. Suggested way to convert Iterable to Collection is unsafe (the same relates to CollectionUtils) - there is no guarantee that subsequent calls to the next() method return different object instances. Moreover, this concern is not pure theoretical. E.g. Iterable implementation used to pass values to a reduce method of Hadoop Reducer always returns the same value instance, just with different field values. So if you apply makeCollection from above (or CollectionUtils.addAll(Iterator)) you will end up with a collection with all identical elements.

有点晚了，但我创建了一个非常优雅的Java 8解决方案，允许将T的Iterable转换为T的任何集合，而不需要任何库:

public static <T, C extends Collection<T>> C toCollection(Iterable<T> iterable, Supplier<C> baseSupplier) 
{
    C collection = baseSupplier.get();
    
    iterable.forEach(collection::add);
    
    return collection;
}

使用的例子:

Iterable<String> iterable = ...;
List<String> list = toCollection(iterable, ArrayList::new);

如果您可以更新到Spring Data 3，那么这个问题已经解决了。有一个新的界面ListCrudRepository，它做的正是你想要的。

这是来自https://spring.io/blog/2022/02/22/announcing-listcrudrepository-friends-for-spring-data-3-0:的界面

public interface ListCrudRepository<T, ID> extends CrudRepository<T, ID> {
    <S extends T> List<S> saveAll(Iterable<S> entities);
    List<T> findAll();
    List<T> findAllById(Iterable<ID> ids);
}

注意，在版本3中必须实现两个接口

所以在版本2中

public interface PersonRepository<Person, Long> extends 
   PagingAndSortingRepository<Person, Long> {}

在版本3中应改为:

public interface PersonRepository<Person, Long> extends
    PagingAndSortingRepository<Person, Long>,ListCrudRepository<Person, Long> {}

其他变化见https://spring.io/blog/2022/02/22/announcing-listcrudrepository-friends-for-spring-data-3-0

With Guava you can use Lists.newArrayList(Iterable) or Sets.newHashSet(Iterable), among other similar methods. This will of course copy all the elements in to memory. If that isn't acceptable, I think your code that works with these ought to take Iterable rather than Collection. Guava also happens to provide convenient methods for doing things you can do on a Collection using an Iterable (such as Iterables.isEmpty(Iterable) or Iterables.contains(Iterable, Object)), but the performance implications are more obvious.

尽管如此，不要忘记所有的集合都是有限的，而Iterable没有任何承诺。如果某个东西是Iterable，你可以得到一个Iterator，就是这样。

for (piece : sthIterable){
..........
}

将扩大到:

Iterator it = sthIterable.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()){
    piece = it.next();
..........
}

it.hasNext()不需要返回false。因此，在一般情况下，您不能期望能够将每个Iterable转换为一个集合。例如，你可以遍历所有正自然数，遍历带有循环的东西，反复产生相同的结果，等等。

除此之外:Atrey的回答很好。

我使用我的自定义实用程序强制转换现有的集合(如果可用)。

主要:

public static <T> Collection<T> toCollection(Iterable<T> iterable) {
    if (iterable instanceof Collection) {
        return (Collection<T>) iterable;
    } else {
        return Lists.newArrayList(iterable);
    }
}

理想情况下，上面将使用immutabelist，但ImmutableCollection不允许空值，这可能会产生不希望看到的结果。

测试:

@Test
public void testToCollectionAlreadyCollection() {
    ArrayList<String> list = Lists.newArrayList(FIRST, MIDDLE, LAST);
    assertSame("no need to change, just cast", list, toCollection(list));
}

@Test
public void testIterableToCollection() {
    final ArrayList<String> expected = Lists.newArrayList(FIRST, null, MIDDLE, LAST);

    Collection<String> collection = toCollection(new Iterable<String>() {
        @Override
        public Iterator<String> iterator() {
            return expected.iterator();
        }
    });
    assertNotSame("a new list must have been created", expected, collection);
    assertTrue(expected + " != " + collection, CollectionUtils.isEqualCollection(expected, collection));
}

我为集合的所有子类型(Set,List等)实现了类似的实用程序。我以为这些已经是番石榴的一部分了，但我还没找到。
