Obviously SolrJ is Java, not Python. SolrJ has integration with Zookeeper, so when you instantiate a CloudSolrServer instance, you tell it where Zookeeper is, not Solr. Your app then consults Zookeeper to find out which Solr instance to talk to. This means you can move stuff around within your infrastructure without needing to tell your app, and without needing to mess with load balancers as that is all handled for you by the SolrJ client deciding which node to forward your request.
