Description

Ranger uses commons lang for StringUtils in places like: 

https://github.com/apache/ranger/blob/master/agents-common/src/main/java/org/apache/ranger/plugin/policyengine/RangerAccessRequestImpl.java#L31

However, it doesn't add commons-lang as a dependency and instead depends on the transitive dependency from hadoop-common. When compiling my plugin with with Hadoop 3.2+ I get a `java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils` because Hadoop no longer depends on commons-lang.
