I get this error by updating 500000 nodes at once with upsert.

```auto
Raft.Ready took too long to process: Timer Total: 232ms. Breakdown: [{proposals 194ms} {disk 38ms} {advance 0s}] Num entries: 1. MustSync: true

```

my gql:

```auto
upsert {
  query { 
    var(func: eq(id,12)){
      followers(first:500000,offset:0){
        v as uid
      }
    }
  }
  mutation {
    set {
      uid(v) <dgraph.type> "12fans" .
    }
  }
}

```

dgraph version: v20.07

@chewxy Two hours is way too long. If we can get the dataset or a way to reproduce this, we can look at it.
