usage_description="
List all Hive databases via beeline

Output Format:

<database_name>


FILTER environment variable will restrict to matching databases (if giving <db>.<table>, matches up to the first dot)


Tested on Hive 1.1.0 on CDH 5.10, 5.16


For a better version written in Python see DevOps Python tools repo:

you will need to comment out / remove '-o pipefail' below to skip errors if you aren't authorized to use
any of the databases to avoid the script exiting early upon encountering any authorization error such:

ERROR: AuthorizationException: User '<user>@<domain>' does not have privileges to access: default   Default Hive database.*.*
