Review comment:
       I prefer it this way because it allows the code in pinot-segment-local 
to request as little functionality as it needs - in order to construct a 
forward index I shouldn't need the power to create a bloom filter. These types 
can be composed as generic intersection types when more than one service is 
required. In the future, we may want to change the implementations used within 
core, and shouldn't need to implement bloom filter provision to construct an 
object which needs to create forward indexes. The fact that there is only one 
override at the SPI level is an implementation detail of the override 
mechanism, and pinot-segment-local/pinot-core should not be aware of this.
