Review comment:
       Summarizing our offline discussion:
   The second part was to avoid setting the time column name in 
`segment.datetime.column.names` and also in `segment.time.column.name`, which 
will happen if the primary time column is **dateTimeFieldSpec**. This happens 
because `segment.time.column.name` is **serving as primary timeColumnName and 
also as timeFieldSpec.** This worked well so far, because primary time column 
and timeFieldSpec were one and the same. 
   But based on our chat, removing that check. As decided, the 
`segment.time.column.name` property will serve as the primary time column name. 
It will match with timecolumnName in tableConfig. It can be of type DATE_TIME 
or TIME.
