----------------------------------------
Verifiable by setting hive.security.authorization.manager to SBAP and turning
client-side auth on before running hcat -e "drop database if exists
bogus_dbname_that_hopefully_does_not_exist_on_your_setup;"
> hcat -e "drop database if exists" fails on authorizing non-existent null db

> When running a "drop database if exists" call on hcat commandline, it fails
> authorization with a NPE because it tries to authorize access to a null
> database. This should be changed to not call authorize if the db for the
> DropDatabaseDesc is null.
