As I said, the injection of the new vertices/edges would have to be done "manually", hence without any support of the infrastructure. I'd suggest you implement a WorkerContext class that supports the reading of a specific file with a specific format (under your control) from HDFS, and that is accessed by this particular "special" vertex (e.g. based on the vertex ID).
Does this make sense?
