/**
 * @class AliHLTTPCOfflineCluster
 *
 * The conversion of HLT cluster format to offline one
 *
 * The conversion takes place cluster per cluster. The array
 * with the offline clusters is filled in the respective
 * conversion component (AliHLTTPCClusterConverter).
 * The same is valid for the transformation of the cluster
 * coordinates. This class only translates from the AliHLTTPCSpacePoint
 * data struct to the offline AliTPCclusterMI class.
