issue:https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/issues/27576
# Main Goals
1. Create and describe collections with geospatial fields, enabling both
client and server to recognize and process geo fields.
2. Insert geospatial data as payload values in the insert binlog, and
print the values for verification.
3. Load segments containing geospatial data into memory.
4. Ensure query outputs can display geospatial data.
5. Support filtering on GIS functions for geospatial columns.
# Solution
1. **Add Type**: Modify the Milvus core by adding a Geospatial type in
both the C++ and Go code layers, defining the Geospatial data structure
and the corresponding interfaces.
2. **Dependency Libraries**: Introduce necessary geospatial data
processing libraries. In the C++ source code, use Conan package
management to include the GDAL library. In the Go source code, add the
go-geom library to the go.mod file.
3. **Protocol Interface**: Revise the Milvus protocol to provide
mechanisms for Geospatial message serialization and deserialization.
4. **Data Pipeline**: Facilitate interaction between the client and
proxy using the WKT format for geospatial data. The proxy will convert
all data into WKB format for downstream processing, providing column
data interfaces, segment encapsulation, segment loading, payload
writing, and cache block management.
5. **Query Operators**: Implement simple display and support for filter
queries. Initially, focus on filtering based on spatial relationships
for a single column of geospatial literal values, providing parsing and
execution for query expressions.
6. **Client Modification**: Enable the client to handle user input for
geospatial data and facilitate end-to-end testing.Check the modification
in pymilvus.

add sparse float vector support to different milvus components,
including proxy, data node to receive and write sparse float vectors to
binlog, query node to handle search requests, index node to build index
for sparse float column, etc.
