Description

Currently the components in flume-ng are hard wired to use the built in name. This implies that within one agent, there can be only one instance of a particular component. While the configuration supports having multiple components of the same time, the component interfaces themselves need to change.

Also, need to support plugin components for user-provided implementations of source/sink/channels where necessary.
