/**
 * @class AliHLTTPCEsdWriterComponent
 * Translation of internal TPC track data to the ESD format.
 * This class translates incoming track segments structures from the TPC
 * conformal mapping tracker (datatype TRAKSEGS/TPC) or tracks in global 
 * coordinates from the AliHLTTPCGlobalMergerComponent (TRACKS/TPC) into
 * the ESD format.
 *
 * The \em TPCEsdWriter writes it to a ROOT file, the \em TPCEsdConverter
 * to a TTree and sends the whole object to the output stream with data
 * type ::kAliHLTDataTypeESDTree and origin TPC.
 *
 * In case of TRAKSEGS, the component can only process data block containing
 * data of one slice, but it can read an unlimeted number of data blocks.
