How do I read bytes from HBase using NodeJS and Thrift?

[Remington Wong]

Hi,

I am using Thrift and NodeJS to read/write HBase keys and values. I noticed
that it's possible for me to write bytes to HBase because the write
functions accept both strings and NodeJS Buffer objects. I was wondering,
then, how do I read data from HBase as bytes instead of UTF-8 strings?

Thanks,
RW
