I agree with Galder here: streams only apply to Collections and not to 
Maps (like in the JDK). It has already proven difficult mimicking the 
Map interface in a distributed environment: let's not aggravate this.

entrySet().stream(), keySet().stream() are unambiguous and respect the 
original interfaces.
