I'm just new to Java Lambda expressions. I'm both excited and frustrated 
by the Oracle tutorials describing them: the tutorial shows how powerful 
they are and that's got me keen to know more but I'm not finding the 
detailed references I need to be able to do what I want to do.

For example, they give an example that involves using a stream and a 
filter and then printing some stuff which looks something like:

roster
.stream
.filter ....
... System.out.println();

I'd like to know what *all* my options, not just .stream and .filter. 
I'm also curious to know what are all the things I can do on the last line.

For example, I want to go through a collection and find out how many 
instances of a given agency code are in the collection but have no idea 
how to do that or where to look in the API. I just want to put that 
count in an integer for use later in the program.

I assume there is a reference manual somewhere that tells me all the 
things I can do with my collection using Lambdas but I'm not seeing any 
pointer to that manual in the Oracle material.
