support thrift api

Sorry for the late response. This is not something that I'm interested in pursuing. I have used the Java API before and I don't find it compelling in the least bit. The REST api is far easier to support and is what I'll be focused on when working on this library.
Sorry if that deters you from using this. Is there a reason outside of "I want it" that...you want it? :)
main reason was performance - looking at the benchmarks of the ES python driver comparing thrift to rest, it looked like thrift was about twice as fast. Seams reasonable to expect similar gains on node.
