We can not reasonably use an `instanceof` comparison to confirm that a given object is of type MongoDB since we may be using a different version of MongoDB than what a caller might be using. In this scenario the check would fail. Thus this patch checks if a required field in the IDbProperties object is set. This required field is not a known field in MongoDB instance, thus it is arguably sane to check it in this manner.

Per discussion with @stieg, one solution is to make MongoDB a devDependency making it so the logic uses the consumer's own MongoDB package.
