SolrJ client class to communicate with SolrCloud. Instances of this class communicate with Zookeeper to discover Solr endpoints for SolrCloud collections, and then use the LBHttpSolrClient <http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.solr/solr-solrj/5.0.0/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/impl/LBHttpSolrClient.java#LBHttpSolrClient> to issue requests.
