Which properties of the CAP theorem does OrientDB embrace? Does it
achieve eventual consistency in favor of high availability or is it
strongly consistent?

Hi,
OrientDB supports both CA and AP depending of your cluster configuration.

If you create 1 master and X slaves replicated as synchronous you have CA. If you add asynchronous servers you could have eventual consistency if the client reads from the asynchronous replicated server. So it's you choice.
