Does anyone have a better explanation of the GETS and PINS columns in this

GETS: Handle requests for objects of this namespace
PINS: PIN requests for objects of this namespace

Are the GETS necessarily physical gets???  Can they be physical GETS (from
the disk)?  I'm struggling with this concept somewhat.
