From the FAQ: "For multiple document transactions, RethinkDB favors data consistency over high write availability. While RethinkDB is always CID, it is not always A."

What is the relation between write availability and A(tomicity)?

slava @ rethink here.

I think this sentence is just phrased poorly. It means to convey that there is no atomicity across multiple documents, which is unrelated to the previous sentence. I've opened an issue to fix that: https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs/issues/633. Thanks for noticing!

That seems like a confusion between the A in CAP and the A in ACID.
