Description

Currently when using a org.apache.cxf.clustering.RetryStrategy with org.apache.cxf.clustering.FailoverFeature on a JAXRSClientFactory it will always retry in case of HTTP status codes 404, 503 and 429 (https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/rt/transports/http/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/transport/http/HTTPConduit.java#L1603-L1605). While this is reasonable to do always for the latter two a 404 could also indicate a regular ReST API response in case of invalid parametrisation.

Therefore it should be possible to optionally disable retries for 404.
