We may reconsider the feature later. But it will be no early than the end of this year.

pingcap do not have plan for geo index #673 (comment), I am interested in adding this feature to tidb, so Is there anyone else interested or working on this?

We need to investigate the user scenario in depth, and then make a decision after the research is completed.
