It's really up to you to find answers to these questions, especially
the first one. Once you've designed an efficient algorithm then the
second point (which I'm interpreting as how you'd go about changing
tuplestore(?) so that things can be read in reverse order) should
just drop out as an implementation detail :) I'm guessing you'll
end up not reading the store in reverse order but arranging things
differently---it'll be interesting to see.
What does your current code look like and how have you solved it there?
If you've already written it then you'll need to be much more specific
with your questions about integrating it into PG.
