This does look wrong.  There is an 0.8.3 release in the official maven
repo :
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/pig/pig/
And in the apache release repo:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/releases/org/apache/pig/
pig/

So from the maven POV, there was a pig 0.8.3 'release'.  It is not clear
what this actually is, or if it is possible to remove it.  Some users may
attempt to use this false release.

According to the website, there was no 0.8.3 or 0.8.2 release:
http://pig.apache.org/releases.html

And the dev mailing list archives do not have a vote for those releases
either:
http://search-hadoop.com/?page=4&q=VOTE&fc_project=Pig&fc_type=mail%20_hash
_%20dev


So, those jars should be removed from the maven repos IMO.  They are
certainly not Apache Pig official release artifacts.
