  * A Job report is used to report status on a {@link WriteBatcher} or a {@link QueryBatcher}
  * job at any point of time after it is started and provide a
  * snapshot of the job's status at that time.
+ * <p>
+ * Note that for a query job, the counts of successful and failed events and batches only account for the process of
+ * retrieving items from the database. They do not account for the processing of batches of items via user-provided
+ * instances of {@link QueryBatchListener}. Such instances are responsible for determining their own definitions of
+ * "success" and "failure". See {@link ApplyTransformListener} for an example of how this can be done.
