I'm talking about 
http://doc.akka.io/japi/akka/current/akka/stream/javadsl/Flow.html#mapConcat-akka.japi.function.Function-

I had a flow that was emitting Iterator<T>, and I wanted a step to 'chunk' 
the values to a given chunk size N (in other words, every iterator returned 
by the 'chunker' would be no larger than the chunk size).

I have 
Flow.<Iterator<T>>create().mapConcat(iter -> Lists.newArrayList(iter)).
grouped(chunkSize).map(list -> list.iterator())

but it kind of bugs me that I need to create an intermediate list (seems 
like an unnecessary copy). I know this probably won't affect performance 
perceptibly in most cases, but I wonder why Iterable was used? Are multiple 
iterators ever needed to be requested from it?

I'm kind of tempted to do
Flow.<Iterator<T>>create().mapConcat(iter -> new Iterable<T>() {
            @Override
            public Iterator<T> iterator()
            {
                return iter;
            }}).grouped(chunkSize).map(list -> list.iterator())
