[SmartStore] SmartStore and POST to the cachemanager endpoint for Open/Close of Bucket?

[rbal_splunk]

in an SmartStore environment, when a search is executed on the indexers, is there always a post to the cachemanager endpoint?
for example - would i expect to see the same count of POST's to close a bucket out as I would see in the audit.log under things such as searched_buckets or invocations.command.search.index.bucketcache.hit?

There is a POST to open and a POST to close bucket (or summary) as it's needed by search. POST's don't always correspond 1:1 to what you see in audit.log. if the bucket is already local, you won't see anything in audit.log.
