Early review on NIO Stream APIs

[Henry Jen]

BiPredicate is a intentional choice, as during the walk process, the attribute is read and many times, filtering is based on file attributes.

PathMatcher is basically a Predicate<Path>, developer can easily use that in a filter with walk, which return a Stream<Path>.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Henry
