Description

Hive didn't division with 'create' and 'udf create'. We can use hive udf policy 'database

{USER}, and {USER}

give create permission' for permanent type because dbname has a value. But for temporary udf dbname always return empty. Workaround, we can set 'database *', but 'show databases' would return all database, it isn't we want. I remove the permission checking for temporary udf. Temporary udf's scope is session, so it won't affect other user.
