The metadata source could publish an update number every time you pull. This
number gets incremented every time the metadata changes in the DB.
The grabber could say "give me updates since this update number."

And it should support partial metadata. Often all the data isn't needed,
just the missing art, description, etc. Having to clear the entry and then
grab new data just to check if partial data is now present isn't exactly
friendly to the end user or the services.
