        BaseDataset collects meta information from ``annotation file`` (the
        lowest priority), ``BaseDataset.METAINFO``(medium) and ``metainfo
        parameter`` (highest) passed to constructors. The lower priority meta
        information will be overwritten by higher one.

    Note:
        Dataset wrapper such as ``ConcatDataset``, ``RepeatDataset`` .etc.
        should not inherit from ``BaseDataset`` since ``get_subset`` and
        ``get_subset_`` could produce ambiguous meaning sub-dataset which
        conflicts with original dataset.
