What does a False Hit look like?
The easiest situation to analyse is when two caches (say A and B) are involved neither of which uses the other as a parent. In this case, a False Hit would show up as a CACHE_DIGEST_HIT on A and NOT as a TCP_HIT on B (or vice versa). If B does not fetch the object for A then the hierarchy field will look like NONE/- (and A will have received an Access Denied or Forbidden message). This will happen if the object is not “available” on B and B does not have miss_access enabled for A (or is not acting as a parent for A).
