RunningJob api change?

I'm trying to upgrade my code to 0.11.2, and I notice that HADOOP-801 has
added an undocumented new method to the RunningJob interface
(getTaskCompletionEvents(int)).  What should this method return?  What do
the parameters to the TaskCompletionEvent constructor mean?

Thanks,
Michael

getTaskCompletionEvents gets a list of task completion events for a  
given job. The task completion events are basically when a task  
completes or fails. The startFrom is the index in the log to start  
from, so that you can do the equivalent of tail -f.
