Yep - it's usable and separate so you should be able to download 0.7-branch and build the jar and use it against a 0.7.3 cluster. I've been using it against a 0.7.2 cluster actually.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/branches/cassandra-0.7/ To use it, check out the readme in the contrib/pig directory in the 0.7 branch. One trivial example of copying one column family to another is: rows = LOAD 'cassandra://Keyspace1/Standard1' USING CassandraStorage(); STORE rows INTO 'cassandra://Keyspace1/Standard2' USING CassandraStorage(); using the contrib/pig/pig_cassandra script (tx to brandon for that example). Also make sure that Standard2 exists too. If you have any other questions talk to jeromatron (me), driftx (brandon), or mvdir (eldon) in #cassandra or #hadoop-pig on IRC on freenode.
