"Fill" is a "basic cachable [measured] miss". That is, a basic
transaction involving a cachable response that came from the origin
server (not a measured hit). This is something a cache is likely to
fill its storage with.

"Basic" is a transactions involving a GET request that is neither an
IMS request, a reload request, nor a redirected request. Basic
transactions also cannot have responses that are results of redirected
requests. Finally basic transactions do not involve
Polygraph-initiated aborts. In short, it is a "simple" transaction for
which is is easy to distinguish hits and misses using client-side
information only.

If you need more precise definitions, you can get them from
src/base/ObjId.{h,cc} source file.
