 Review comment:
   Seems so. It can't be in different length.
   
   For its usage to create `StringIndexerModel`, looks like it doesn't have bad 
effect. I'm not sure if it is ok for all cases. For example, if java side might 
get unexpected items (null?) from array. We need to add a note to this document.
