Taking snaphots on individual indices simultaneously is causing concurrent\_snapshot\_execution\_exception.

Not sure what is the right way to do it. How do we take snapshots on individual indices simultaneously. Do we have to stagger the timings of the snapshot schedule fo rthis? it seems complicated when we have serveral indices.
