I've never heard of advanced place finder or HSQL so I can't really help 
with your question, but you might like to know that there is currently 
work going on to create new geocoder for OSM as well as work to enhance 
the current namefinder.

If you're interested in this area you might want to join the geocoding 
mailing list.
