   * 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')
