Description

When a custom masking function is written which uses strings that need to be quote in the UI, the quotes in the string are not unescaped properly. When the policy with such incorrectly escaped stings is saved and executed, any Hive queries that invoke this policy fail to parse causing Hive query to throw a syntax error.
