Description

In the Flume User Guide, the 'Configuring a multi agent flow':
```

1. list sources, sinks and channels in the agent
   agent_foo.sources = avro-AppSrv-source
   agent_foo.sinks = avro-forward-sink
   agent_foo.channels = file-channel

1. define the flow
   agent_foo.sources.avro-AppSrv-source.channels = file-channel
   agent_foo.sinks.avro-forward-sink.channel = file-channel

1. 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

1. configure other pieces
   #...
   ```
   agent_foo.sources.avro-forward-sink.type = avro should be agent_foo.sinks.avro-forward-sink.type = avro.
