Description

If anything, the current class `Segment` should be called `DataSegment` and vice versa because `DataSegment` doesn't contain any data. We may either flip the names, or, I think better, leave `Segment` and rename `DataSegment` to `SegmentInfo`.

Research direction

Search the Druid source for the Segment and DataSegment class definitions and all references, then compare their responsibilities with the proposed names. Apply the Segment and SegmentInfo naming consistently, and verify that the project builds and relevant tests pass.
