Depends on how you configure Aerospike.

The default for AP mode is PAEC, but can be configured towards PAEL by setting either `write-commit-level` in the `write-policy` to `master` or the `read-consistency-level` in the `read-policy` to `one`.

The `strong-consistency` mode (implements SC) is PCEC.
