Description

In order to test a table or have two tables for different use cases, it would be good to have the ability to push same segments to different pinot tables other than build segments multiple times for each table.

E.g. Users may have one main table for prod use case, and another staging table for dev purposes with updated data, then at some time, updated data could be pushed to main table.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into the segment upload and load logic in Pinot's controller and server components to identify where the table name is used and how to override it.
