Unable to get aggregation_control.groupby_attrs a

[aradhakrishnanGFDL]

Description

Following [intake-esm doc](https://intake-esm.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how-to/understand-keys-and-how-to-change-them.html) to print aggregation columns and get more info on the keys
 1) catalog.esmcat.aggregation_control.groupby_attrs and 2) keys_info(), but running into errors. User error not ruled out, please point me in the right direction. 

Background being - I want to get the aggregate columns (and vocabulary url!) from the json and see if we can validate and provide additional info to users regarding the catalog correctness and expected structure before it is used in the analysis. 

What I Did

cat = intake.open_esm_datastore(col)

>>> cat.keys_info()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/nbhome/Aparna.Radhakrishnan/conda/envs/intake/lib/python3.7/site-packages/intake_esm/core.py", line 239, in __getitem__
    return self._entries[key]
KeyError: 'keys_info'
