+/**
+
+  This is a standalone deserialize/parse example if you just want to deserialize
+  thrift decoupled from cassandra server
+
+  1.  acquire thrift template specification files from who ever built it (eg: EXAMPLE.thrift)
+
+  2.  Install thrift on local machine
+
+  3.  generate thrift clients for nodejs using template specification files (#1)
+      thrift --gen js:node schema/EXAMPLE.thrift
+
+      This creates creates gen-node.js directory containing a new file, GENERATED.js
+
+  4.  Inside GENERATED.js is a class you will want to instanciate.  Find this class name and plug 
+      it into the example code below  (ie, "YOUR_CLASS_NAME")
+ */
+
+function parseThrift(thriftEncodedData, callback) {
+  var thrift = require('thrift');
+  var transport = new thrift.TFramedTransport(thriftEncodedData);
+  var protocol  = new thrift.TBinaryProtocol(transport);
+
+  var clientClass = require('../gen-nodejs/GENERATED').YOUR_CLASS_NAME;
+  var client = new clientClass();
+  client.read(protocol);
+  callback(null, client);
