Description:
No CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, ALTER TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE commands are being logged as `schemaops` in the `cluster`.`binlog_index` table.
Their absence causes the `cluster`.`apply_status` to show incorrect or no position information for what is currently applied against the slave.
How to repeat:
At initial startup of cluster replication you should see 
mysqlM> select * from cluster.binlog_index;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysqlS> select * from cluster.apply_status;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
To test:
mysqlM> use test;
Database changed
mysqlM> create table t1 (id int auto_increment primary key) engine=ndbcluster;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.99 sec)
mysqlM> select * from cluster.binlog_index;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysqlS> use test;
Database changed
mysqlS> select * from cluster.apply_status\G
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysqlS> show tables;

Suggested fix:
Include `schemaops` in binlog_index and apply_status.
