// .NAME vtkXMLHierarchicalBoxDataReader - Reader for hierarchical datasets
// .SECTION Description
// vtkXMLHierarchicalBoxDataReader reads the VTK XML hierarchical data file
// format. XML hierarchical data files are meta-files that point to a list
// of serial VTK XML files. When reading in parallel, it will distribute
// sub-blocks among processor. If the number of sub-blocks is less than
// the number of processors, some processors will not have any sub-blocks
// for that level. If the number of sub-blocks is larger than the
// number of processors, each processor will possibly have more than
// 1 sub-block.
