Without knowing what you are trying to do, it's really hard to answer that usefully. In general if you want to modify b-tree indexes you'd only have to modify the b-tree index implementation. If you want to add new capabilities or features to the indexing system in general then use them in b-tree, you'd probably also have to modify the access method interface.
If you aren't just doing this for learning/research you should explain in detail what you are trying to do. There is no point spending lots of time creating a patch that would never get accepted into the PostgreSQL core, so you have to maintain it forever more...
Thanks for update. Actually, I am doing it for learning. I want to modify B tree approach for insert and update operation to perform in a more faster way.
Could you please suggest something about abt update operation of B tree index.
