Hello I have a hive table splitted in 200 files

I was waiting to see 200 map task but counters only show 10 map task, why is this happening?

Hive will combine input splits by default (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2245).

Some tips on how to control this are here. Look at the mapred.max.split.size and mapred.min.split.size properties.
