According to http://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/architecture, you have a choice, for each read query, between C and A. The summary on meetup.com is apparently wrong.

I am going to the meetup (but am not otherwise associated with rethinkdb).

Ah good, RethinkDB is doing this right. Shame that the meetup summary was so confused.

Great doc reference, thanks. I've always been impressed by RethinkDB and so was surprised to see the blurb above about being "CA". Good to see that's not actually the party line.
