The more I keep looking at this the more I dislike the interface.
We're actually building an interface that defeats any LSM abstraction,
and clients of the interface have to poll and parse to find out if
something they care about changed.

I think the interface should be inverted and provide an interface
to register callbacks so clients can just set a callback and be
notified of a changes.
