/* remote ('address', db, table) - creates a temporary StorageDistributed.
 * To get the table structure, a DESC TABLE request is made to the remote server.
 * For example
 * SELECT count() FROM remote('example01-01-1', merge, hits) - go to `example01-01-1`, in the merge database, the hits table.
 * An expression that generates a set of shards and replicas can also be specified as the host name - see below.
 * Also, there is a cluster version of the function: cluster('existing_cluster_name', 'db', 'table')
