Is TH1::Merge/Clone thread-safe?

Hi Philippe,

thanks, that explains it. The issue is that the histograms don’t get saved into a ROOT file on the worker node. They are being serialized and sent across the network. Are you suggesting we should simply open a dummy ROOT file to avoid the ProcessLine() call? If we do so, will there be additional I/O from/to this file?

Cheers,
Frank
