NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.
Confluence seems to assume that if you're using an HSQL database, it must be a file based database located at CONFLUENCE_HOME/database/confluencedb. So, if you're using a JNDI supplied HSQL database, or using an in memory database (eg jdbc:hsqldb:mem:confluence), or using HSQL as a server (eg jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/confluence, very useful if you actually want to connect to the database externally and browse it while Confluence is still running), or simply pointing it at some other file location, then Confluence fails to startup with the following error:

Failed to load
Caused by the code for upgrading HSQLDB 1.7 to 1.8.
Fixed by cmiller by removing all the old upgrade tasks and related code (the HSQLDB upgrade was long before Confluence 2.7.4).
