The job evicted log event itself means that the job has stopped  
executing, but didn't complete. The checkpoint message in the evicted  
event states whether the job was checkpointed immediately before it  
was killed. The job checkpointed event means that a periodic  
checkpoint occurred, and the job continued to run.
