Does rethinkdb have ACID? No?

Whether that actually matters is arguable: No one has performant distributed (i.e. cross-partition) ACID. (Except maybe Google.)

For the thing that does matter, which is ACID within the same partition/entity group, I would argue that RethinkDB already does have that.

Mike Stonebraker says that there are no fast distributed transactions [1]. I'm inclined to believe him, and that's not just an appeal to authority.
