This doesn't seem to happen with other databases.
Riak does several things periodically, including gossip the ring, checking for handoff and checking for fallback vnodes with data in them. Basicially this is riak trying to keep your data safe. Maybe other databases don't do this, but they also may not have the same data resiliancy that Riak does.
