Could you build this?

Partial The PGM learned index is a published algorithm, so a correct implementation in Rust is feasible with AI help. However, achieving high performance and robust epsilon-bounded behavior across real workloads needs systems and database expertise.

What it would actually take: The core is the PGM-index construction (optimal piecewise linear segmentation with an epsilon bound) plus a multi-level search structure, which can be followed from the published paper. Getting it production-grade requires benchmarking on realistic key distributions, cache-aware memory layout, and fuzz and property testing of the error guarantees. That work needs database internals and performance engineering experience.
