Description

As discussed on the flume threads we want to support adding/modifying headers at flume agents through configuration.

Primary use-case as of now -

Use HDFSEventSink to publish data in paths like /flume-data/YYYY/mm/DD/HH/MM wherein timestamp is of agent running HDFSEventSink.

What's not there today
-------------------------

1. headers are put by clientLIB and can't be added/modified in flight by agents.
