Reading Avro into spark using spark avro

I cannot read spark files using spark-avro library. Here are the steps I took:

• Got the jar from: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.databricks/spark-avro_2.10/0.1
• Induced spark sheath using spark-shell --jars avro/spark-avro_2.10-0.1.jar
  
  

• The executed commands are listed in the git readme:

  import com.databricks.spark.avro._
  import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext
  val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc)
  val episodes = sqlContext.avroFile("episodes.avro") 
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

• SqlContext.avroFile ("episodes.avro") action fails with the following error:

  scala> val episodes = sqlContext.avroFile("episodes.avro")
  java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: class com.databricks.spark.avro.AvroRelation has interface org.apache.spark.sql.sources.TableScan as super class
