Will McQueen updated FLUME-1014:
--------------------------------
Description: The javadocs and sample config files are out of date with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' to 'agent' change. (was: The javadocs and sample config files are out
