Oracle Coherence -- put into a cache increments the CacheMisss statistic

ChromeTemplar

We noticed that the cache hit probability on our coherence cache was at 50-55%, down from the expected 90%.

After some research, we found that doing a put into the cache increased the CacheMisses statistic.  Is there a way to configure my cache so that put operations do not increment the CacheMisses count?  I am reading through the Coherence Documentation, but so far have turned up nothing.

I want to prevent "put" operations from incrementing the CacheMisses statistic.

Thanks.
