Description

While working on the Apache Sentry project that uses HMS notifications we noticed that these notifications are using some useful data - e.g. location information for the objects. To get around these, ApacheSentry implemented its own version of events (https://github.com/apache/sentry/tree/master/sentry-binding/sentry-binding-hive-follower/src/main/java/org/apache/sentry/binding/metastore/messaging/json).

It seems to be a useful information for Hive as well, so why not add it directly into the standard message factory?
