System Tables Use Compact Data Format for Parts Under 10 MiB Since Version 20.3

System tables (e.g. system.query_log, system.trace_log, system.metric_log) are using compact data part format for parts smaller than 10 MiB in size. Compact data part format is supported since version 20.3. If you are going to downgrade to version less than 20.3, you should manually delete table data for system logs in /var/lib/clickhouse/data/system/.
