We're running ES 2.4.x on NVMe cards for indexing and have disabled merge throttling:

> # curl -XPUT $esprodata01/\_cluster/settings -d '{ "transient" : { "indices.store.throttle.type" : "none" }}'
> 
> {"acknowledged":true,"persistent":{},"transient":{"indices":{"store":{"throttle":{"type":"none"}}}}}

However the metric "merges.total\_throttled\_time\_in\_millis" goes up. Is there something I missed?
