+ *
+ * The following optional arguments may be passed:
+ * user_migration - Machine name of a user migration, used to establish
+ *   dependencies and a sourceMigration for the uid mapping.
+ * default_uid - Drupal7 7 (destination) uid of the user account to use as
+ *   the default.
+ * bundle - File bundle to use as the target - defaults to 'file'.
+ * file_class - Override for the default MigrateFileUri file class.
+ * destination_dir - Destination directory for the files (defaults to public://).
