Review Comment:
   The good news: this method is thread-safe as written. Here’s why:
   - It creates only local variables (`groupStrings`, StringBuilder `sb`, etc.) 
inside the method or its private helpers.
   - It doesn’t modify shared mutable state (no static fields, caches, or 
mutable class members).
   - All the objects it operates on (Collection<String> groupNames, lists, 
builders) are created fresh per call.
   - It doesn’t store anything globally, nor depend on any external resource 
that could be concurrently modified.
   
   So, even though multiple threads will execute it simultaneously, each will 
have its own independent stack and its own local `groupStrings` and `sb` — no 
interference.
   
   The only caveat: the input collection. If `groupNames` is not thread-safe 
and can be modified concurrently by other threads while this method is reading 
it, then that _could_ cause a problem. I'll fix this issue soon and ensure 
safety even if the caller passes in a shared mutable collection (which is not 
the cast, tbh).
   
   Wrt. to the `StringBuilder` concern, it’s not a problem because each call to 
`getGroupStrings(...)` creates and uses its own `StringBuilder` instance 
**locally inside the method**. There’s no shared mutable state between threads.

> KNOX-2974 and KNOX-3023 support adding group headers to requests flowing to 
> downstream endpoints. Currently the groups headers is based on number of 
> groups (1000 default). A lot of webservers and loadbalancers support header 
> sizes between 4KB - 8KB which be an issue when header sizes are large. 
> This JIRA is to update this logic to limit groups in one header to configured 
> size in KBs.
