That’s too complex, I just need to know the interface about design a column store. In fact, I just need a simple example, and I will implement it by myself, what I’m confusing is that, I don’t know how to implement a MVCC, because old version is tuple, this will make a big difference to the transaction?

If you're looking for the simplest version of a columnar implementation for Postgres, I'd check out Citus' original cstore implemented via FDW. It hasn't been updated in years, but it's still one of the faster simple columnar implementations out there https://github.com/citusdata/cstore_fdw
