"Add <directory>" in hive cli

I want something like

$hive
> ADD FILE <directory_path>;

which adds a directory to working directory of hive.

I am using hive 0.7.
I need this for addding python packages to be used by mapper/reducer scripts.
What are my options?

What worked for me is zipping all the content (directory/files) to a zip file and using 'ADD ARCHIVE ' as explained in Add multiple files to distributed cache in HIVE

For 0.7.1 you can use the shell escape (!) to run !hadoop fs -mkdir <path> or the "dfs" command dfs -mkdir <path>. See the cli wiki page for more info. Not sure if these are in 0.7 or not.
