This feature is turned off by default in Tez. So unless you have turned it on (or hive turns it on), the number of reducers is probably different because latest Hive compiler tries to determine the number of reducers via table statistics at compile time. It may be that this Hive compiler feature is on by default for Hive-on-Tez compilation but off by default for Hive-on-MR compilation.
