Description

As proposed by Yongkun in FLUME-1435, it is a common scenario where
1. More than one sink is connected a single channel
2. Each event in the channel is replicated and pushed into all sinks

But the current sink processors(default, failover, load_balance) can not implement that request.
Yongkun‘s proposal in FLME-1435 is complicated. As the first step, a "replicating" sink process can be implemented.
