public ODatabaseDocument db;
private Logger logger;

// Provision Class with new Clusters
public void provisionClassClusters(OClass cls, List<String> clusters){

   // Log Operation
   logger.info("Adding clusters to class");

   // Iterator over List of Clusters
   for(String name : clusters){

      logger.debug(
	     String.format("Creating Cluster '%s' on class '%s'",
		    name,
			cls.getName());
      cls.addCluster(name);
   }
   logger.debug("Done");
}

This method takes an OClass instance and a List<String> instance, which contains a list of new cluster names.
