Currently the sequence batcher creates tensors for string correlation ids by padding them to the maximum string size (128). We found that the padding makes it difficult to extract the correlation ids properly in the python and other backends when using stateful models.
This fix removes the padding by using the length of the correlation id string instead of the maximum string size.
