/**
 * @class AliHLTTPCClusterFinderComponent
 * Implementation of the cluster finder component.
 * The component implements the interface methods of the @ref AliHLTProcessor.
 * The actual cluster finding algorithm is implemented in @ref AliHLTTPCClusterFinder.
 * The component can handle unpacked and packed data of different formats via the
 * AliHLTTPCDigitReader implementations. Two components are registered, the
 * TPCClusterFinderUnpacked and the TPCClusterFinderPacked. The latter one can
 * instantiate different digit readers depending on the arguments.
 * 
 * The component has the following component arguments:
 * - rawreadermode   the mode for the @ref AliHLTTPCDigitReaderRaw
 * - adc-threshold   ADC count threshold for zero suppression, if <0 the base line
 *                   calculation and subtraction is switched off
 * - pp-run          set parameters specific to a pp run; currently this switches
 *                   cluster deconvolution off for pp runs
