Thanks Erick and Shawn, a "collection" is indeed what I meant.
I was under the impression the entire Tree view in the admin GUI was
showing everything in ZK, including things like
"collections/name/state.json", not just the /configs directory.
The solr.xml file is too isn't it? (I added it to ZK as per the docs),
just a bit confusing to see some files/directories from ZK, and some not.
Thanks for any more insight.

I want to (re)-build a cluster from scratch, with a different amount
of shards, but not using shard-splitting.
When you say "cluster" what exactly do you mean?
To me, "cluster" in a Solr context means "a bunch of Solr servers."
If this is what you mean, there is nothing built in to copy things
from an existing cluster. You *can* run multiple SolrCloud clusters
on one Zookeeper ensemble.
If you are actually talking about a *collection* when you say
"cluster", then what Erick said is 100% correct.
Thanks,
Shawn
