@rohany Can you elaborate on how they are used? Support GiST and SP-GiST is a non-starter from my understanding of how they work.
As of now they are just used in some tests in the django test suites (some tests just want to create GIST indexes). We are going through and triaging the test failures, so I just wanted to have an issue tracking these to blacklist tests in the future.
We have marked this issue as stale because it has been inactive for 18 months. If this issue is still relevant, removing the stale label or adding a comment will keep it active. Otherwise, we'll close it in 5 days to keep the issue queue tidy. Thank you for your contribution to CockroachDB!
They're used in indexing ranges

This is a low priority from SQL Sessions perspective. We haven't seen any specific asks around using this indexes through Django.
Postgres has support for GIST and SPGIST indexes https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-types.html, https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createindex.html, which is unsupported right now. These are used in the Django test suite.
