I needed a collector to pass to the 2-arg Collectors.groupingBy so that I could map some attribute to arrays of objects per attribute value. This answer gives me exactly that. Also @DidierL.

Since Java 11 the finisher in collectingAndThen can be written as list -> list.toArray(converter) due to addition of Collection.toArray(IntFunction)
