Maybe parallel computing. A grid search is an embarrassingly parallel problem. A Bayesian optimization is not. We have the necessary framework only to tackle embarrassingly parallel computing. Maybe the first 10 shots can be done with random sampling (using code adapted / subclassed from the RandomSearch) before kicking in the Bayesian optimizer.
