Module features and usage

Having hooks fire during a migration can significantly
slow down the process, and what’s worse, it can also cause
some significant problems, for example sending email
notifications every time a node is created

You disable hooks by defining an array in your
settings.php file, either an array of specific hooks you want
to disable, or an array of modules for which you want to
disable all hooks

This was a capability available for the Drupal 7 Migrate
module, but hasn’t been available in the Migrate API in
Drupal core since version 8, so this module can be invaluable
if you’re working on a sizable migration

Hopefully there are a lot of folks working on migrations
ahead of the January 5 EOL for Drupal 7, so I thought this
module would be timely
