To enable Prometheus remote write to send native histograms to Grafana Mimir, add the `send_native_histograms: true` parameter to your remote write configuration, for example:
To limit the number of native histogram buckets per sample, set the `-validation.max-native-histogram-buckets` flag on distributors.
The recommended value is 160 which is the default in the [OpenTelemetry SDK](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/metrics/sdk/) for exponential histograms, which are a similar concept in OpenTelemetry.

The recommended value is `160`, which is the default in the [OpenTelemetry SDK](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/metrics/sdk/) for exponential histograms. The native histogram buckets are similar in concept to exponential histograms in OpenTelemetry.

Spell out that last sentence. Please vet this for technical accuracy, because my change is a guess and has high potential for being inaccurate in this case.
