                return 0;
            // total throughput
            int totalBytesPerMS =
DatabaseDescriptor.getCompactionThroughputMbPerSec() * 1024 * 1024 /
1000;
            // per stream throughput (target bytes per MS)
            return totalBytesPerMS / Math.max(1,
CompactionManager.instance.getActiveCompactions())
"

So, a value of "0" means "disable throttling".

./src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/Throttle.java
"
        int newTargetBytesPerMS = fun.targetThroughput();
        if (newTargetBytesPerMS < 1)
            // throttling disabled
            return;
"

And returning 0 from targetThroughput should result in throttling
being disabled.

I see in the actual throttle code this log line :

                logger.trace(String.format("%s actual throughput was
%d bytes in %d ms: throttling for %d ms",

So you could enable TRACE log level for this class to determine if
it's making it into that codepath.

As an aside, there is no bounds checking when setting configuration
options via JMX. Be careful.
