I am not clear what Stas has in mind here. 

As far as I can see the official -sample- 
command has no -cluster()- option. 

However, this question arose quite recently
on Statalist. Scott Merryman and I put our answers together as 
an FAQ: 

How can I sample clusters, not individuals?

The Statalist FAQ does advise you to look at the FAQs
before posting.
