Currently mkFitOutputConverter drops all non-valid hits in the produced TrackCandidates. Some of the useful information is lost: we could pass invalid,bad, or other status hits that could be potentially useful in the final fit.
Most of this will likely require additional level of detail added inside of mkFit, e.g.,
- ability to provide a DetId per dead hit
- ability to provide a full hit index for potentially useful hits which were skipped in the pattern reco
- currently we just assign a
-x to the hit index; -> hit index and hit status would need to be tracked separately
