What does index.store.fs do?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I was under the impression that to use the mmapfs store that all I needed
to do was set index.store.type to mmapfs
, but I was reading this article
http://jprante.github.io/applications/2012/07/26/Mmap-with-Lucene.htmland
saw that the author did this

index:
store:
type: mmapfs
fs:
mmapfs:
enabled: true

so he basically did what I did then set
index.store.fs.mmapfs to true

My question is what does this do?

setting

index.store.type: mmapfs

is enough to use MMap directory.
I don't know what the yaml below does aside of setting mmapfs
