The implementation looks good to me, but I am concerned about possible 
performance impact, see my comment in Frontend.java

I would prefer a name the contains "authorization" or "auth". The current name 
could mean many things.

            : of 1 to 32. The default value of 'num_check_access_threads' is 1.
nit: wrap at 72

PS7, Line 859: submit
I am not familiar with ExecutorService, so I may be wrong here.

What happens if SHOW DATABASES is called by several users concurrently? Does 
MAX_CHECK_ACCESS_POOL_SIZE maximize the number of threads that can work in 
parallel, or the current thread (where doGetTableNames is called) can also do 
some work?

If no more than MAX_CHECK_ACCESS_POOL_SIZE threads can work at the same time 
and the default value 1 is used, then this change serializes parallel SHOW 
DATABASES calls which is a regression compared to the current state.

I can imagine that in certain cases bumping MAX_CHECK_ACCESS_POOL_SIZE can help 
a lot, but we should ensure that the default 1 does not cause significant 
regression.
