There may not be any specific "convinience methods" for doing collection
creation requests (patches welcome!) but the
SolrServer.request(SolrRequest) method should be capable of making a
request to the collections admin API.
I think it would be something along the lines of...
UpdateRequest req = new UpdateRequest("/admin/collections");
req.setParam("action","CREATE");
req.setParam("name","mycollection");
...
myCloudServer.request(req);
