Description:
In RBR, changes to non-transactional tables that happen early in a transaction are
not immediately flushed upon committing a statement. This behavior may, however, break consistency since changes done to non-transactional tables become
immediately visible to other connections.

How to repeat:
Test case:
----------

--source include/have_binlog_format_row.inc
--source include/have_innodb.inc

CREATE TABLE tt (a int) engine=innodb;
CREATE TABLE nt (a int) engine=myisam;

BEGIN;
INSERT INTO nt VALUES(1);
INSERT INTO nt VALUES(2);
INSERT INTO nt VALUES(3);
INSERT INTO tt VALUES(1);
INSERT INTO tt VALUES(2);
INSERT INTO nt VALUES(4);
INSERT INTO tt VALUES(3);
COMMIT;

SHOW BINLOG EVENTS;

DROP TABLE tt;
DROP TABLE nt;

exit;

We have the wrong ouput:

      BUG#47678 Changes to n-tables that happen early in a trans. are only flushed upon commit
      
        Let
          - T be a transactional table and N non-transactional table.
          - B be begin, C commit and R rollback.
          - N be a statement that accesses and changes only N-tables.
          - T be a statement that accesses and changes only T-tables.
      
      In RBR, changes to N-tables that happen early in a transaction are not immediately flushed
      upon committing a statement. This behavior may, however, break consistency in the presence
      of concurrency since changes done to N-tables become immediately visible to other
      connections. To fix this problem, we do the following:
      
        . B N N T C would log - B N C B N C B T C.
        . B N N T R would log - B N C B N C B T R.
      
      Note that, we are not preserving history from the master as we are introducing a commit that
      never happened. However, this seems to be more acceptable than the possibility of breaking
      consistency in the presense of concurrency.

Documented bugfix in the 5.1.41 changelog as follows:

        When using row-based replication, changes to non-transactional
        tables that occurred early in a transaction were not immediately
        flushed upon committing a statement. This behavior could break
        consistency since changes made to non-transactional tables
        become immediately visible to other connections.

Set status to NDI in case of additional pushes.
