Hi, Nikita!
I take a look to this patchset. My first notes are following.
* 0003-Extract-index_store_orderby_distances-v02.patch
Function index_store_orderby_distances doesn't look general enough for its name. GiST supports ordering only by float4 and float8 distances. SP-GiST also goes that way. But in the future, access methods could support distances of other types.
Thus, I suggest to rename function to index_store_float8_orderby_distances().
* 0004-Add-kNN-support-to-SP-GiST-v02.patch
Patch didn't applied cleanly.

I had to apply failed chunks manually. While trying to compile that I faced compile error.
spgtextproc.c:89:7: error: no member named 'suppLen' in 'struct spgConfigOut'
cfg->suppLen = 0; /* we don't need any supplimentary data */
~~~ ^
I noticed that this line was removed in the next patch. After removing it, I faced following error.
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `spgproc.o', needed by `objfiles.txt'. Stop.
After removing spgproc.o from src/backend/access/spgist/Makefile, I finally succeed to compile it.

I don't think it worth mentioning here GSoC student who made just dirty prototype and abandon this work just after final evaluation.
More generally, you switched SP-GiST from scan stack to pairing heap. We should check if it introduces overhead to non-KNN scans. Also some benchmarks comparing KNN SP-GIST vs KNN GiST would be now.
* 0005-Add-ordering-operators-to-SP-GiST-kd_point_ops-and-quad_point_ops-v02.patch
I faced following warning.
spgproc.c:32:10: warning: implicit declaration of function 'get_float8_nan' is invalid in C99 [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
return get_float8_nan();
^
1 warning generated.
* 0007-Add-SP-GiST-opclasses-poly_ops-and-circle_ops-v02.patch
I think this is out of scope for KNN SP-GiST. This is very valuable, but completely separate feature. And it should be posted and discussed separately.
