The command set hive.enforce.bucketing = true; allows the correct number of reducers and the cluster by column to be automatically selected based on the table. Otherwise, you would need to set the number of reducers to be the same as the number of buckets.

As per hive documentation what you have specified at the time of creation of bucket table with no.of buckets is become the number of reducers.If you have huge data single file contains different data.
