Well... It is a legacy field needed to speed up consumption of the measurement results by saving on database requests. Result consumption is a place where we put a lot of optimization efforts. Basically Tdig' is a class name.
Since we are still in transition to the new measurement result storage we need to keep it. As soon as we stop depending on it it will be gone.
The system is evolving and it may happen that you get it in the downloaded results because we are transparent and do little filtering on the results data.
That is the reason you can ignore it and you shouldn't depend on it.
Thanks! You've now stilled the curiosity of 200 engineers. :-) Cheers, /Liman
