Review Comment:
   The physical-column keys are interned here, but `setTimeInfo()` still 
assigns `_timeColumn` directly from `getString(...)`. For every time-column 
segment this leaves a second, non-canonical column-name `String` in 
`SegmentMetadataImpl`, so the claimed sharing is incomplete; intern 
`_timeColumn` in that path as well.
