Dedup Improvments (#611)

* dedup improvements on top of #597, work towards patching support (#601)
- single key 'dedup_policy' of 'skip', 'revisit', 'keep'
- optional 'dedup_index_url', defaults to redis urls
- support for 'cache: always' to further add cacheing on all requests that have a referrer
- updated docs to mention latest config, explain 'instant replay' that is possible when dedup_policy is set
- add check to ensure only redis:// URLs can be set for dedup_index_url for now
- config: convert shorthand 'recorder: <source_coll>' setting string to dict, don't override custom config

+Dedup Options for Recording
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+By default, recording mode will record every URL.
+
+Starting with pywb 2.5.0, it is possible to configure pywb to either write revisit records or skip duplicate URLs altogether using the ``dedup_policy`` key.
+
+Using deduplication requires a Redis instance, which will keep track of the index for deduplication in a sorted-set key.
+The default Redis key used is ``redis://localhost:6379/0/pywb:{coll}:cdxj`` where ``{coll}`` is replaced with current collection id.
+
+The field can be customized using the ``dedup_index_url`` field in the recorder config. The URL must start with ``redis://``, as that is the only
+supported dedup index at this time.
+
+- To skip duplicate URLs, set ``dedup_policy: skip``. With this setting, only one instance of any URL will be recorded.
+
+- To write revist records, set ``dedup_policy: revisit``. With this setting, WARC ``revisit`` records will be written when a duplicate URL is detected
+and has the same digest as a previous response.
+
+- To keep all duplicates, use ``dedup_policy: keep``. All WARC records are written to disk normally as with no policy, however, the Redis dedup index is still populated,
+which allows for instant replay (see below).
+
+- To disable the dedup system, set to ``dedup_policy: none`` or omit the field. This is the default, and no Redis is required.
+
+Another option, pywb can add an aggressive Cache-Control header to force the browser to cache all responses on a page.
+This feature is still experimental, but can be enabled via ``cache: always`` setting.
+
+
+For example, the following will enable ``revisit`` records to be written using the given Redis URL, and also enable aggressive cacheing when recording::
 
   recorder:
      ...
-     dedup_index:
+     cache: always
-        type: redis
+     dedup_policy: revisit
-        dupe_policy: revisit
+     dedup_index_url: 'redis://localhost:6379/0/pywb:{coll}:cdxj'   # default when omitted
-        redis_url: 'redis://localhost/2/{coll}:cdxj'
 
-For ``type`` currently only ``redis`` is supported.
 
-The ``dupe_policy`` key specifies what will hapen when a duplicate response is found. Can be ``duplicate``, to write duplicate responses, ``revisit``, to write a revisit record or ``skip`` to ignore duplicates and don't write anything to the WARC.
+Instant Replay (experimental)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Starting with pywb 2.5.0, when the ``dedup_policy`` is set, pywb can do 'instant replay' after recording, without having to regenerate the CDX or waiting for it to be updated with auto-indexing.
+
+When any dedup_policy, pywb can also access the dedup Redis index, along with any on-disk CDX, when replaying the collection.
+
+This feature is still experimental but should generally work. Additional options for working with the Redis Dedup index will be added in the futuer.
+
 
-The ``redis_url`` key specifies which redis database to use and the template for the sorted-set key to use.
