Agent Config docs are out of date
---------------------------------
Key: FLUME-1014
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1014
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Docs
Affects Versions: v1.1.0
Environment: RHEL 6.2 64-bit
Reporter: Will McQueen
Fix For: v1.1.0
The javadocs and sample config files are out of date with respect to valid
agent configurations. The docs and sample file also mention "host" instead of
"agent", which can get confused with the hostname of a machine. The agent name
specified in the config file should by convention be named "agent" to make it
clearer. An agent name specified in the config file (props file) is what needs
to get passed to the '-n' option when running the flume-ng script. The affected
code should also be updated to reflect this 'host'->'agent' change.
