Java 8, Lambda : replace Anonymous inner class by lambda

A simple azure storage Entity Resolver interface and it’s implemented method:

EntityResolver<String> orderNumberResolver = new EntityResolver<String>() {
    @Override
    public String resolve(String partitionKey, String rowKey, Date timeStamp,
        HashMap<String, EntityProperty> properties, String etag) {
      return properties.get("SomeColumnName").getValueAsString();
    }
  };

Lambda of the above method will be :

 EntityResolver<String> orderNumberResolver = (
          partitionKey, rowKey, timeStamp, properties, etag
      ) -> properties.get("SomeColumnName").getValueAsString();

It’s clear from above example that lambda’s are smart enough to handle the type of method parameters according to their anonymous inner class thus it makes the implementation of overridden method easy. Hope this will be helpful.
