    https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/12872
  
    Currently, the existing DDL behaviors for temporary views when users do not 
specify the database name:
    
    - `CREATE OR REPLACE TEMPORARY VIEW view_name` alters the TEMPORARY view if 
the temporary view already exists. 
    
    - `DROP VIEW view_name` OR `SELECT... FROM view_name` will be always first 
applied to a TEMPORARY view, if existing. If the temporary view does not exist, 
we will try to drop/fetch the PERSISTENT view, if existing.
    
    - `ALTER VIEW view_name` is only applicable to the PERSISTENT view, even if 
the temporary view with the same name exists. 
    
    @clockfly @rxin @yhuai @liancheng @hvanhovell @cloud-fan  Should we make 
them consistent?
