Cannot run pig examples on current 2.0 branch

I checked out the cassandra-2.0 branch to try the pig examples because the 2.0.3 release has the CASSANDRA-6309 problem which is fixed on the branch. I tried to run both the cql and the CassandraStorage examples in local mode with pig 0.10.1, 0.11.1, and 0.12.0 and all of them give the following error and stack trace:

ERROR 2998: Unhandled internal error. readLength_

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: readLength_
