Try to build up a 'data base' of metadata dictionaries. Save a rich template at somewhere as the first 'data' and also add gs.RE.md from different user/beamtime to enrich 'data base', if this gs.RE.md is largely different from existing ones in database

on further thought, we could probably just use pickle to write out the list of dictionary keys, it should be really easy.

as recommended by Tom, will use json to write object. It has better cross-platform compatibility
