Do we really need duplicate detection anyway? MongoExperiments are asynchronous so it is really unusual to ever have exactly the same experiment twice. The dup-detection seems mainly useful in really small search spaces, which isn't really what the package is for.

I think the right thing to do is delete the so-called "duplicate detection" mechanism code.
