Most likely because Merge table does not provide column sizes info.
We can provide it either:
- by iterating and summing across all tables;
- only for first N = 10 tables in case if the number of tables is very large.
* It will also store needed stuff for projection query pipeline.
      *
      * QueryProcessingStage::Enum required for Distributed over Distributed,
      * since it cannot return Complete for intermediate queries never.

     * Accepts a list of columns to read, as well as a description of the query,
     *  from which information can be extracted about how to retrieve data
     *  (indexes, locks, etc.)
     * Returns a stream with which you can read data sequentially
     *  or multiple streams for parallel data reading.
     * The `processed_stage` info is also written to what stage the request was processed.
     * (Normally, the function only reads the columns from the list, but in other cases,
     *  for example, the request can be partially processed on a remote server.)
     *
     * context contains settings for one query.
     * Usually Storage does not care about these settings, since they are used in the interpreter.
     * But, for example, for distributed query processing, the settings are passed to the remote server.
     *
     * num_streams - a recommendation, how many streams to return,
     *  if the storage can return a different number of streams.
     *
     * It is guaranteed that the structure of the table will not change over the lifetime of the returned streams (that is, there will not be ALTER, RENAME and DROP).
