Answer 1

List.removeAll

You can use removeAll to obtain the complimentary list.

List userBelowThreshold = new ArrayList<>(users); // initiated with 'users'
userBelowThreshold.removeAll(userAboveThreshold);

Note: This would require overridden equals and hashCode implementation for User.

Collectors.partitioningBy

On the other hand, if you further want to iterate over the complete users list just once, you can use Collectors.partitioningBy as:

Map> userAgeMap = users.stream()
        .collect(Collectors.partitioningBy(user -> user.getAge() > 21, Collectors.toList()));
List userAboveThreshold = userAgeMap.get(Boolean.TRUE);
List userBelowThreshold = userAgeMap.get(Boolean.FALSE);
