   This PR fixes a nondeterministic behavior in 
`TestEmbeddedHiveMetaStore.testDatabase`
   Previously, the test used `getDatabases(".*")` to verify database existence. 
However, this method relies on cached lists which may become stale when test 
execution order is randomized by 
[NonDex](https://github.com/TestingResearchIllinois/NonDex), which is a tool 
for detecting hidden assumptions in code by exploring non-deterministic 
behaviors of specifications that allow multiple valid implementations.
   
   
   The fix is to replace getDatabases(".*") with direct getDatabase(name) calls 
in the test. This ensures consistent behavior regardless of test shuffling and 
avoids relying on potentially stale cached results.
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   <!--
   Please clarify why the changes are needed. For instance,
     1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API.
     2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug.
   -->
   The test was failing nondeterministically under NonDex with errors like:
   ```
   java.lang.AssertionError: first database is not testdb1 in list: []
   ```
   
   Root cause: Cached database lists may not reflect the actual state when 
randomized execution occurs.
   
   ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
   <!--
   Note that it means *any* user-facing change including all aspects such as 
the documentation fix.
   If yes, please clarify the previous behavior and the change this PR proposes 
- provide the console output, description, screenshot and/or a reproducable 
example to show the behavior difference if possible.
   If possible, please also clarify if this is a user-facing change compared to 
the released Hive versions or within the unreleased branches such as master.
   If no, write 'No'.
   -->
   No. I believe this improve the harness of tests without altering and 
damaging the core database operations being tested(add, find, drop).
   
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   <!--
   If tests were added, say they were added here. Please make sure to add some 
test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive 
cases if possible.
   If it was tested in a way different from regular unit tests, please clarify 
how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other 
reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future.
   If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why 
it was difficult to add.
