This all sounds a little more complicated than it should ... but since FDW are not really IMO the right interface to be implementing a different storage format, I'm not terribly on board with supporting this more completely. So what you're doing now is probably acceptable.
+1,
FDW looks OK for prototyping pluggable storage, but it doesn't seem suitable for permanent implementation.
BTW, Hadi, could you visit "Pluggable storage" thread and check how suitable upcoming pluggable storage API is for cstore?
