Review Comment:
   I have another suggestion regarding the implementation. I would like to use 
a Java HashMap for it,
   Key: <String> - 'DbName'.'TableName'
   Value: <Table> - Store the unfiltered table.
   So we store the unfiltered tables list(before converting it into 
HivePrivilegeObject and sending them for authorization) in the form of a map 
like the above. Once we get the filtered list, we simply look up the 
'dbName'.'tableName' in the map and return the table. 
   Space complexity: O(N) -- N is the size of the table list
   Run time complexity: O(1) -- HashMap lookup is constant order.
   
   I'm suggesting this because, theoretically even with the current 
implementation we are using up O(N) space. In practice, the space requirements 
of the current implementation is more efficient than what I suggested. For 
runtime complexity, we avoid NlogN look-up time if we go with the above 
suggestion.
