Description

Using the agent configuration, such as

a1.sinks.elasticSearch.hostNames = [fe80::5054:ff:fe3c:1383]:9300

causes the following log output and failure to connect to the remote host:

06 Apr 2016 11:21:53,908 WARN [lifecycleSupervisor-1-5] (org.apache.flume.sink.elasticsearch.client.ElasticSearchTransportClient.configureHostnames:136) - [[fe80::5054:ff:fe3c:1383]:9300]
06 Apr 2016 11:21:53,911 INFO [lifecycleSupervisor-1-5] (org.apache.flume.sink.elasticsearch.client.ElasticSearchTransportClient.openClient:196) - Using ElasticSearch hostnames: [inet[[fe80:9300]]

The last line above is obviously wrong.
