You can read about writing your own storage engines here:
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/creating-new-storage-engine.html

if you have some certain questions about mysql internals you can look in
internal.texi or ask questions here (this mail list). and here you can
ask about revieving you code or whatever (but we need references on
them, patches for review should be made in unified format (-u) or
context format (-c)).
