I think the useful place to put it is to get aerospike to publish
their SRPM, especially their spec files.
Let me cut a long story short:
/opt/<vendor> is the appropriate place
for other SW-vendors to install add-on packages into, but it's an
entirely inappropriate place to for OS-vendors (such as Fedora) to put
their packages into.
Or conversely: It's strictly prohibited for Fedora to install package
into /opt, because this path is reserved for add-on packages.
