Noisy CkfTrackCandidateMaker in Run-3 HLT menu TSG test

[mmusich]

I was taking a look at the logs of the HLT integration tests in a recent release (see e.g. example) and I see a lot of:

%MSG-e TooManySeeds:   CkfTrackCandidateMaker:hltDoubletRecoveryPFlowCkfTrackCandidates  04-Nov-2024 19:12:45 CET Run: 386071 Event: 154505411

we changed the input real data for the integration tests from Run2023D to Run2024H in this commit, and I don't remember seeing this before on 2023 data.

[a question tangentially related to the issue] is this test specific to tracking? DT was off/out in 386071.

(the run had PU~61 in LS 107, seems to be about the same as in the 2023 run 370293:251)

is this test specific to tracking? DT was off/out in 386071.

no, it just so happens it was on disk.

just out of curiosity I tried running the tests using this more recent input file: /store/data/Run2024I/EphemeralHLTPhysics0/RAW/v1/000/386/593/00000/91a08676-199e-404c-9957-f72772ef1354.root from run386593, LS=235 (which should have no detector level defect) and I still see the same amount (if not more) warnings:
