How to distribute a list into sub-lists, keeping the original order of the elements?

Question

How to split a list into a given number of lists, taking the elements in order and distributing them to the sub-lists (so not partitioning the list)?

I would like to

Answer 1

Something like this could put all your lists into a map, then you just need to get the sub-lists out of the map

int count = 0;
Map> mapLists = list.stream()
                            .peek(i -> count ++)
                            .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(i -> count % numOfSubLists))

Another way using Guava

List> lists = Lists.partition(list, noOfPartitions);
