Description:
Customer experiences a loss of a table. The table does still exist on the cluster but is not auto-discovered by the SQL node.

Further he cannot drop the table on the cluster.

How to repeat:
Customer did a restart of mysqld, then a SHOW TABLES followed by a SELECT * FROM table.

Then he got:

ERROR 1146 (42S02) : Table '...' doesn't exist.

Then he dropped the database on the SQL node but the database and the tables still exist on the cluster.

Then he tried to drop the table on the cluster:

$ ndb_drop_table ... -d ...
Dropping table ...
723: No such table existed

But also re-creating the table on the SQL node fails:

ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 10 in file: '...': Table '...' already exists

So he cannot go forward nor backward.

Suggested fix:
Make auto-discovery work correctly OR make dropping table on cluster with force possible.
