Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My application needs to add a custom Client like FeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient, e.g.
``` public class CustomFeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient implements Client { ... }
`CustomFeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient` will add some extensions to `FeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient`, like tracing.
This works pretty well when using load-balanced clients. But when mixed with load-balanced and non-load-balanced clients, `FeignClientFactoryBean` hard coded to work with `FeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient` to get the delegate
if (client != null) {
if (client instanceof FeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient) {
// not load balancing because we have a url,
// but Spring Cloud LoadBalancer is on the classpath, so unwrap
client = ((FeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient) client).getDelegate();
}
if (client instanceof RetryableFeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient) {
// not load balancing because we have a url,
// but Spring Cloud LoadBalancer is on the classpath, so unwrap
client = ((RetryableFeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient) client).getDelegate();
}
builder.client(client);
}
```

Hello, @liubao68 - we actually provide tracing solutions. Have you checked that out? In any case, I think it'd be ok to allow for custom FeignLoadBalancerClient solutions. This is not going to be a team priority, but feel free to submit a PR similar to the one you've created before, but against the main branch instead. Please make sure to add tests.
