You need MySQL MaxDB version (at least on windows), which is 
precompiled using --with-federated-storage-engine
That article doesn't state it, and I think I had to stumble across 
this in the Federated engine discussion forum @ MySQL

It's a very useful storage type, particularly if you have a lot of 
records with recent records (eg last 1 month) online, and a bunch 
compressed or as ARCHIVE tables on a near-line storage server for 
your older data (eg older than 1 month)
