/**
 * @class AliHLTTPCOfflineClustererComponent
 * Wrapper component to the TPC offline cluster finder.
 *
 * The component interfaces the AliTPCclustererMI of the TPC offline code
 * to the online HLT. The component expects raw data as input and publishes
 * a full TreeR containing the cluster information.
 *
 * <h2>General properties:</h2>
 *
 * Component ID: \b TPCOfflineCF <br>
 * Library: \b libAliHLTTPC.so     <br>
 * Input Data Types: @ref kAliHLTDataTypeDDLRaw|kAliHLTDataOriginTPC <br>
 * Output Data Types: @ref kAliHLTDataTypeAliTreeR|kAliHLTDataOriginTPC <br>
 *
 * <h2>Mandatory arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 *
 * <h2>Optional arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 *
 * <h2>Configuration:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 *
 * <h2>Default CDB entries:</h2>
 * - so far the component does not load any configuration object
 *
 * <h2>Performance:</h2>
 * To be determined.
 *
 * <h2>Memory consumption:</h2>
 * To be determined.
 *
 * <h2>Output size:</h2>
 * To be determined.
