Creating a 2-D array whose first elements come from a 1-D array
For the most part, what you are doing is fine (like @Ashwin commented on your question).

About the only thing I really don't like is the name of the function getResult. That name is just really useless. How about convert2D or something? Your other variable names are well put together, and make sense.

Another issue you may run in to is if someone specifies bad input values. Your code will fail with a NoSuchElementException if someone sets a rowSize of 0.

From a performance perspective, I expect that your code is pretty much as fast as it can be too - in a single-threaded process.

Using a Java 8 stream you can possibly make the process a bit more parallel, but it would be more complicated to read. Still, I thought it would be an interesting thing to see..... though, in a production system, I would be happy to see your code instead (i.e. the following code is just a thought, not a recommendation):

public static double[][] convert2D(double[] data, int rowSize) {
    return IntStream.range(0, data.length)
        .parallel()
        .mapToObj(i -&gt; {
            double[] row = new double[rowSize];
            row[0] = data[i];
            return row;
        })
        .toArray(s -&gt; new double[s][]);
}


The above has the advantage that each row may be created in a different thread, and "all CPUs" on your system will be creating rows. I did some performance benchmarks, and, if the rowSize is small (10 or so) then your code is faster. If the row size starts getting larger (like 1000 or so) then the parallel code starts getting faster.

Even though the stream code can sometimes be faster, I would still probably prefer to use your code.

If you want raw numbers (Note the unit for the 10-size row is MicroSeconds, and for 1000 size row is MilliSeconds), this is the timing for row-size of 10 for 1000 rows, run 1000 times:
