Data type of offset field should match the data type of the connectivity.
This is the error raised by Paraview 5.8 while opening a VolOctree patch:
@haysam The change to the IO module is not strictly needed to fix the issue because PatchKernel is not using VTK homogeneous grids, but I think we shouldn't set the type of the offset field to UInt64 unconditionally (it may not match the data type of the connectivity field).
