> I've installed `clickhouse-client` (a new SQL database), which needs almost 900 MB for just a CLI client

clickhouse-client is just a symlink to the main ClickHouse binary. That binary also includes the server and a lot of useful utilities.

It's large, yes, but it's on purpose it's super useful when you need to have a single binary for server, client, Zookeeper server, Zookeeper client, local data analysis tool etc.
