Description

The multi-agent flow example tries to set up an avro sink like this:

# avro sink properties
agent_foo.sources.avro-forward-sink.type = avro
agent_foo.sources.avro-forward-sink.hostname = 10.1.1.100
agent_foo.sources.avro-forward-sink.port = 10000

But shouldn't it be like this?

# avro sink properties
agent_foo.sinks.avro-forward-sink.type = avro
agent_foo.sinks.avro-forward-sink.hostname = 10.1.1.100
agent_foo.sinks.avro-forward-sink.port = 10000

I tried the original way just to make sure, but it doesn't seem to work.
