 DESCRIPTION >
     Hourly aggregates with native JSON data type for properties.
     Allows multi-property GROUP BY at query time via properties.field syntax.
+    Uses MergeTree (not AggregatingMergeTree) to preserve distinct property
+    combinations — the MV pipe's GROUP BY handles pre-aggregation at insert
+    time, and query-time sum() in the pipes handles the final rollup.
