Aerospike doesn't offer many consistency guarantees. If you run it in a cluster on the cloud you are more than likely to see silent data loss [1].

It's not a fair comparison, RethinkDB is much safer. I'm sure, if you turn down the defaults on both read and write operations on RethinkDB you could scale it well past 15 nodes and with very high read and write throughput.
