How can one possibly be eventually consistent for reads and ACID for updates? Unless you are saying the datasets available for fast queries cannot be updated consistently...Or are you just saying, you can read from replicas but maintain a single master...

Direct reads (by ID) and writes are ACID.

Complex queries are eventually consistent.

Hope this helps. I'm @judahgabriel if you have more questions.
