org.infinispan.config.TimeoutConfigurationValidatingVisitor checks timeout values and produces following output:
ISPN00148: Invalid <transport>: distributedSyncTimout value of 60000. It can not be higher than <stateRetrieval>:timeout which is 10000

TransportType:
protected Long distributedSyncTimeout = 240000L; // default
(in EDG this is overriden to 60000)

StateRetrievalType:
protected Long timeout = 240000L;

when HotRodServer creates its topology cache, it supplies default value of 10000 (see TOPO_REPL_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT in https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/blob/master/server/core/src/main/scala/org/infinispan/server/core/Main.scala)

but this leads to above WARN message.
