 Review comment:
   For the consuming segment, `select *` should return physical columns + newly 
added columns. Since the newly added columns are provided by the virtual column 
provider, I feel it a bit weird to include them in getPhysicalColumnNames 
method. 
   
   Basically the columns are
   1. physical column
   2. virtual column
    2.1 built-in virtual columns (docId, segmentName, hostName)
    2.2 newly added columns in the consuming segment
   
   `getColumnNames` should return 1+2.1+2.2
   `getPhysicalColumnNames` should return 1
   `getColumnNamesForSelectStar` should return 1+2.2
