That Cloudera documentation is ancient and talks about the old Flume (that's why it differs from what you see in the Apache website), the modern Flume (also called Flume-ng) doesn't not have a master, to have HA you need several agents with the same configuration and a load balancer in front. In some cases specific cases you might need need to build a hierarchy and even add Kafka channels you have true fail tolerances.
