changes:
- -sample-config will now comment out all but a few default plugins.
- config file parse errors will output path to bad conf file.
- cleanup 80-char line-length and some other style issues.
- default package conf file will now have all plugins, but commented
out.

The following configuration is now possible
## CompressionCodec represents the various compression codecs
recognized by Kafka in messages.
## "none" : No compression
## "gzip" : Gzip compression
## "snappy" : Snappy compression
# compression_codec = "none"
## RequiredAcks is used in Produce Requests to tell the broker how
many replica acknowledgements it must see before responding
## "none" : the producer never waits for an acknowledgement from the
broker. This option provides the lowest latency but the weakest
durability guarantees (some data will be lost when a server fails).
## "leader" : the producer gets an acknowledgement after the leader
replica has received the data. This option provides better durability
as the client waits until the server acknowledges the request as
successful (only messages that were written to the now-dead leader but
not yet replicated will be lost).
## "leader_and_replicas" : the producer gets an acknowledgement after
all in-sync replicas have received the data. This option provides the
best durability, we guarantee that no messages will be lost as long as
at least one in sync replica remains.
# required_acks = "leader_and_replicas"
## The total number of times to retry sending a message
# max_retry = "3"
if i understand the prometheus data model correctly, the current output
for this plugin is unusable
prometheus only accepts a single value per measurement. prior to this change, the range loop
causes a measurement to end up w/ a random value
for instance:
net,dc=sjc1,grp_dashboard=1,grp_home=1,grp_hwy_fetcher=1,grp_web_admin=1,host=sjc1-b4-8,hw=app,interface=docker0,state=live
bytes_recv=477596i,bytes_sent=152963303i,drop_in=0i,drop_out=0i,err_in=0i,err_out=0i,packets_recv=7231i,packets_sent=11460i
1457121990003778992
this 'net' measurent would have all it's tags copied to prometheus
labels, but any of 152963303, or 0, or 7231 as a value for
'net' depending on which field is last in the map iteration
this change expands the fields into new measurements by appending
the field name to the influxdb measurement name.
ie, the above example results with 'net' dropped and new measurements
to take it's place:
net_bytes_recv
net_bytes_sent
net_drop_in
net_err_in
net_packets_recv
net_packets_sent
i hope this can be merged, i love telegraf's composability of tags and
filtering
- Check and return error from NewBatchPoints to prevent runtime panic if
user provides an unparsable precision time unit in config.
- Provide correct sample config precision examples.
- Update etc/telegraf.conf precision comment.
closes#715
* Customizable 'separator' option instead of hard-coded '_'
* String values are sent as "State" instead of "Metric", preventing
Riemann from rejecting them
* Riemann service name is set to an (ugly) combination of input name &
(sorted) tags' values...this allows connecting different events for
the same input together on the Riemann side
closes#642
This constitutes a large change in how we will parse different data
formats going forward (for the plugins that support it)
This is working off @henrypfhu's changes.
