Description

Sql auth whitelist set configs can be added to hive.security.authorization.sqlstd.confwhitelist but this will replace the default white list patterns. If users want the default white list configs and would like to append to it, then this can get complicated. We can have a separate config that will let users to append to default whitelist.
