java stream findany,Java 8中findAny（）和findFirst（）之间的区别

I am little confused between Stream#findAny() and Stream#findFirst() of the Stream API in java 8.

What I understood is that both will return the first matched element from the stream, for example, when used in conjunction with filter?

So, why two methods for same task? Am I missing something?

That's not true. According to the javadoc, Stream#findAny():

Returns an Optional describing some element of the stream, or an empty

Optional if the stream is empty.

The behavior of this operation is explicitly nondeterministic; it is free to select any element in the stream. This is to allow for maximal performance in parallel operations;

while Stream.findFirst() will return an Optional describing strictly the first element of the stream. The Stream class doesn't have a .findOne() method, so I suppose you meant .findFirst().
