/**
 * @class AliHLTSampleESDAnalysisComponent
 * An example how to implement an HLT ESD analysis component.
 * The class features the AliHLTComponent interface for HLT processing
 * components. The interface allows to run such components in either
 * the (sequential) AliSimulation/AliReconstruction framework or the
 * parallel HLT online processing framework.
 *
 * An example to run the component can be found in macro sampleEsdAnalysis.C
 * in the folder HLT/exa.
 *
 * Component fetches the ESD from the input objects, loops over tracks and
 * publishes the tracks in a TObjArray of AliESDtrack.
 *
 * <h2>General properties:</h2>
 *
 * Component ID: \b SampleESDAnalysis <br>
 * Library: \b libAliHLTSample.so     <br>
 * Input Data Types: @ref kAliHLTDataTypeESDObject <br>
 * Output Data Types: @ref kAliHLTDataTypeTObjArray|kAliHLTDataOriginSample
 *                         {ROOTOBAR:SMPL} <br>
 *
 * <h2>Mandatory arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * Argument scan is implemented in the function ScanConfigurationArgument().
 * see @ref alihltcomponent-initialization-ocdb.
 * Please provide specific descriptions and implementations.
 * \li -mandatory1     <i> teststring   </i> <br>
 *      an argument with one parameter
 *
 * <h2>Optional arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -optional1      <i> teststring   </i> <br>
 *      an argument with one parameter
 * \li -optional2                            <br>
 *      an argument without parameters
 *
 * <h2>Configuration:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 *
 * <h2>Default CDB entries:</h2>
 * The component has just one default CDB entry in 
 * <tt>HLT/ConfigSample/SampleESDAnalysis</tt>.
 * It does not load any configuration from the global <tt>ConfigHLT</tt>
 * folder.
 * \li -TObjString object holding a string with the configuration parameters
 *      explained above
 *
 * <h2>Performance:</h2>
 * The component does not any event data processing.
 *
 * <h2>Memory consumption:</h2>
 * The component does not any event data processing.
 *
 * <h2>Output size:</h2>
 * The component has no output data.
