PostgreSQL table indexing

Question

I want to index my tables for the following query:

select 
    t.*
from main_transaction t 
left join main_profile profile on profile.id = t.profile_id
left join main_customer customer on (customer.id = profile.user_id) 
where
(upper(t.request_no) like upper(('%'||@requestNumber||'%')) or OR upper(c.phone) LIKE upper(concat('%',||@phoneNumber||,'%')))
 and t.service_type = 'SERVICE_1'
 and t.status  = 'SUCCESS'
 and t.mode = 'AUTO'
 and t.transaction_type = 'WITHDRAW'
 and customer.client = 'corp'
 and t.pub_date>='2018-09-05' and t.pub_date<='2018-11-05'
order by t.pub_date desc, t.id asc 
LIMIT 1000;

This is how I tried to index my tables:

CREATE INDEX main_transaction_pr_id ON main_transaction (profile_id);
CREATE INDEX main_profile_user_id ON main_profile (user_id);
CREATE INDEX main_customer_client ON main_customer (client);
CREATE INDEX main_transaction_gin_req_no ON main_transaction USING gin (upper(request_no) gin_trgm_ops);
CREATE INDEX main_customer_gin_phone ON main_customer USING gin (upper(phone) gin_trgm_ops);
CREATE INDEX main_transaction_general ON main_transaction (service_type, status, mode, transaction_type); --> don't know if this one is true!!

After indexing like above my query is spending over 4.5 seconds for just selecting 1000 rows!

I am selecting from the following table which has 34 columns including 3 FOREIGN KEYs and it has over 3 million data rows:

CREATE TABLE main_transaction (
   id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('main_transaction_id_seq'::regclass),
   description character varying(255) NOT NULL,
   request_no character varying(18),
   account character varying(50),
   service_type character varying(50),
   pub_date" timestamptz(6) NOT NULL,
   "service_id" varchar(50) COLLATE "pg_catalog"."default",
   ....
 );

I am also joining two tables (main_profile, main_customer) for searching customer.phone and for selecting customer.client. To get to the main_customer table from main_transaction table, I can only go by main_profile

My question is how can I index my table too increase performance for above query?

Please, do not use UNION for OR for this case (upper(t.request_no) like upper(('%'||@requestNumber||'%')) or OR upper(c.phone) LIKE upper(concat('%',||@phoneNumber||,'%'))) instead can we use case when condition? Because, I have to convert my PostgreSQL query into Hibernate JPA! And I don't know how to convert UNION except Hibernate - Native SQL which I am not allowed to use.

Explain:

Because you are using * and the postgresql choose seq scan, Just take what column do you need. And see again plan execution what postgresql do.. — dwir182

With the restriction to not use UNION, you won't get a good plan.

You can slightly speed up processing with the following indexes:

main_transaction ((service_type::text), (status::text), (mode::text),
                  (transaction_type::text), pub_date)
main_customer ((client::text))

These should at least get rid of the sequential scans, but the hash join that takes the lion's share of the processing time will remain.
