 Probably we can replace hashes by integers, but this complicates implementation
 of query ingestion where we should perform "insert or do nothing" operation with id lookup.
 
+### Example
+
+Having metric like that:
+
+```yaml
+name: http.request.duration
+attributes:
+  foo: 1
+  bar: baz
+resource:
+  tenant.id: 1
+  service.name: api
+timestamp: 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
+value: 10
+```
+
+We compute hashes from attribute sets:
+
+| name       | value                            |
+|------------|----------------------------------|
+| attributes | 3b52e723db6a5e0aaee48e0a984d33f9 |
+| resource   | 4bfe5ab10b4f64a45383b67c222d962c |
+
+Attribute set is represented by an ordered list attributes to make hash deterministic.
+
+#### `resource`
+
+| key                              | value                                       |
+|----------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
+| 4bfe5ab10b4f64a45383b67c222d962c | `{"tenant.id": "1", "service.name": "api"}` |
+
+#### `attributes`
+
+| metric                | key                              | value                      |
+|-----------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------|
+| http.request.duration | 3b52e723db6a5e0aaee48e0a984d33f9 | `{"foo": 1, "bar": "baz"}` |
+
+#### `points`
+
+| name                  | resource_hash                    | attribute_hash                   | timestamp            | value |
+|-----------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------|-------|

 ## Partitioning and sharding
 
 Data should be sharded by time (e.g. per day, week or similar, can be heterogeneous) and tenant id.
