/**
 * @class AliRawReaderHLT
 * A specific AliRawReader for detector input replacement by HLTOUT data blocks.
 *
 * HLT components can produce output data in the detector ddl raw format.
 * Data blocks of this format can be fed into the normal detector reconstruction
 * without changes in the actual reconstruction code by means of the
 * AliRawReaderHLT implementation of the AliRawReader.
 *
 * @section sec_alirawreaderhlt_concept Conceptual design
 * The AliRawReader provides an abstract interface to the ddl raw data. All
 * reconstruction code uses this interface to access the data.
 * HLT components can send their data in the original ddl raw format. The only
 * difference of such data blocks is the location since they are shipped as
 * part of the HLTOUT data stream. The AliRawReaderHLT provides redirection of
 * those data blocks.
 *
 * @section sec_alirawreaderhlt_usage   Selection of the HLTOUT data stream
 * The input data of a detector can be replaced by the corresponding HLT
 * data by calling the <tt>AliReconstruction::SetUseHLTData("...")</tt>, e.g.
 * <pre>
 *    AliReconstruction rec;
 *    rec.SetUseHLTData("TPC TRD");
 * </pre>
 * will replace the input of TPC and TRD.
 *
 * @section sec_alirawreaderhlt_module  Module implementation
 * In order to determine the equipment id for the data block, the HLT module
 * must implement an HLTOUT handler of class AliHLTOUTHandlerEquId which is of 
 * type @ref AliHLTModuleAgent::AliHLTOUTHandlerType ::kRawReader.
 * The handler must implement the method
 * <pre>
 *  // AliHLTOUTHandlerEquId::ProcessData(AliHLTOUT*)
 *  virtual int ProcessData(AliHLTOUT* pData);
 * </pre>
 * which returns the equipment id and eventually decodes data to be retrieved
 * by calling AliHLTOUTHandler::GetProcessedData().
 *
 * Secondly, the AliHLTModuleAgent implementation of the module has to create
 * the handler for the data blocks. Depending on the data type and specification,
 * the the following interface methods return handler description and handler. 
 * <pre>
 *   int AliHLTModuleAgent::GetHandlerDescription(AliHLTComponentDataType dt,
 *                                                AliHLTUInt32_t spec,
 *                                                AliHLTOUTHandlerDesc& desc) const;
 *
 *   AliHLTOUTHandler* AliHLTModuleAgent::GetOutputHandler(AliHLTComponentDataType dt, 
 *                                                         AliHLTUInt32_t spec);
 * </pre>
 *
