> In hive plugin, when execute sql 'show databases',
> privilege HiveAccessType.USE is required on database '*'. If it is
> authorized USE privilege, all database will be showed. If not, the sql will
> be stuck when checking privilege.
> To solve the problem, just let the sql 'show databases' pass through when
> METASTORE_FILTER_HOOK is set as AuthorizationMetaStoreFilterHook. Privilege
> HiveAccessType.USE is not required on database '*'.
