Hive authorization from Ranger for Alter Table Rename command does not require CREATE database permission on the database where the renamed table will be created

In releases earlier than 7.1.7 SP3 CHF6, whenever Alter Table Rename command was used across databases in Hive, authorization from Ranger required CREATE database permission for the user on the target database in which the renamed table was created.

In 7.1.7 SP3 CHF6 and later releases, whenever Alter Table Rename command is used across databases in Hive, authorization from Ranger does not check for CREATE database permission for the user on the target database in which the renamed table will be created.
