> Right now if I want to create an ldap auth provider, I have to create a hive-site.xml, set endpoints and other relevant properties there, then instantiate `LdapAuthenticationProviderImpl`, since inside the constructor, a new HiveConf is constructed. 
> A better and more reusable design would be to ask for the conf in the constructor itself. That will allow an external user to create a HiveConf, set all relevant properties and instantiate `LdapAuthenticationProviderImpl` with that conf.
