In a steady state, a SolrCloud cluster puts no load on ZooKeeper other than 
maintaining heart beats for the most part.

The heaviest load might be when you start up a few hundred nodes and they all 
keep loading and receiving state rapidly at the same time. ZooKeeper handles 
that pretty easily though.

In my experience, SolrCloud is a walk in the park for ZK, so you probably don't 
need to go crazy.
