Title: Thrift : fix for isBuffer check

update the check to determine if a field is String or a buffer.
for a buffer type, return type could be a ByteBuffer
or a byte[] depending on the Thrift version, so unreliable.

the patch instead checks to see if the return type is a String.

There is a unit test for this. but this regression could be caught only by using different versions of Thrift.
This is a regression introduced in pull #163 .
