S G, Not sure about the documentation but:
The CloudSolrClient uses a connection to zookeeper to extract cluster information like who is a the leader for a shard in a solr collection. To create a CloudSolrClient all you specify is the zookeepers and which collection you want to work with. Behind the scenes solrj will load balance and send the request to the right "shard" in the cluster. The CloudSolrClient is better if you have a cluster of multiple solr nodes across multiple machines. While in LBHttpSolrClient, load balancing is done using a simple round-robin on the list of servers. Hope this helps.
