This error indicates that the process of setting up an index table has taken longer than the allowed time limit, which can be due to various reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Large Data Volume: The index table may be processing a large volume of data, which can lead to timeouts.
  Performance Issues: There may be performance bottlenecks in the database or application server, such as insufficient resources (CPU, memory, etc.).
  Database Locks: Other processes may be locking the database tables that are needed for the index setup, causing delays.
  Inefficient Queries: The queries used to set up the index may not be optimized, leading to longer execution times.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the system can also lead to performance issues.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Increase Timeout Settings: If the process is expected to take longer due to the volume of data, consider increasing the timeout settings in the relevant configuration.
