// This internal class and its subclasses steer the processing in PROOF.//
// Instances of the TProofPlayer class are created on the worker nodes  //
// per session and do the processing.                                   //
// Instances of its subclass - TProofPlayerRemote are created per each  //
// query on the master(s) and on the client. On the master(s),          //
// TProofPlayerRemote coordinate processing, check the dataset, create  //
// the packetizer and take care of merging the results of the workers.  //
// The instance on the client collects information on the input         //
// (dataset and selector), it invokes the Begin() method and finalizes  //
// the query by calling Terminate().                                    //
